We really enjoyed our time at Gordon's! He made us feel very welcome and allowed us to nap on his couch as we arrived at 7 in the morning before the guests had checked out. There's lots of great brochures on the table, with umbrellas to borrow and filtered water in the fridge - just nice touches which make you feel at home. The room was cosy and had amazingly powerful AC - just bear in mind they're two single beds and one's on wheels, a few times my boyfriend went skidding across the room as he climbed into bed! The neighbourhood is so lovely, Bleecker Street had an Autumn block party whilst we were there and it really showed how well the neighbours knew each other and enjoyed each other's company - everyone was laughing and eating bbq whilst the kids jumped on a bouncy castle - you don't get that kind of neighbourly love in London! A nice laundrette just round the corner and a quick 5 minutes to the subway. Gordon also was kind enough to drive us to the local hardware store to fix the lock on the door after we accidentally locked ourselves out! Genuinely funny and nice man. We didn't cook at all in the flat as New York has so many options for food, but the kitchen was in great condition if we wished to do so. If we come back to NYC, we're coming to Gordon's!
