Carl was a wonderful host. He welcomed us into his apartment and gave good instructions on operating faucets, coffee makers, and keys. He gave us a fabulous list of things to do in NY.
We were ravenous from our long flight and so grateful for the bagels and cream cheese that he offered us.
The apartment is better than the description. The living room is super comfortable with a wrap around couch giving plenty of sitting room.
Everything was immaculately clean.
The apartment is in a great location, just a block or so away from all the Time Square activity. However, if you want quiet, you can find restaurants and coffee shops right in the neighborhood that offer a calm break. We particularly liked Amy's Bread between 46th and 47th on 9th. The sticky buns are amazing.
I would definitely try to book Carl's apartment again next time I was in NYC.
