Dan is a very considerate and accomodating host. He stayed in close contact with us prior to our arrival to coordinate our schedules and when he met us answered all our questions about his awesome apartment.

We really appreciated his local recommendations (especially Posto for pizza & Friend of a Farmer for breakfast!). It's nice to be able to go where the locals go!

Dan's apartment is centrally located (he calls it "the center of the universe" and he just might be right), comfortable and historic (Washington Irving once lived there!). We felt totally safe and comfortable. It's a quick cab ride or doable walk to most everthing you would like to see. We visited the 911 Memorial, took a cruise/tour and saw two Broadway plays and had no trouble getting to and from anything. We were even able to walk back from a Broadway play and enjoy feeling like a real New Yorker out for a Saturday night stroll without any concerns for our safety.

Our only problem was that we were only there for the weekend. We would have loved to stay longer to more fully enjoy Dan's apartment in the center of the universe.

If you are looking for the ideal home base for a visit to the Big Apple, I doubt you could do better than Dan's Sweet Union Square/Gramercy Park home!

If we're ever in New York again, we want to stay here!
