Olan is adorable and I had the BEST time staying with him at his apartment. I actually chose Olan's place because there was a dog and cat living there. This always adds something special for me and of course I totally fell in love with Big Al and Tuxie the cat.
The apartment itself is perfectly situated. You are minutes away from everything, and the interior is a wonderful hot potch of paintings and textiles. I loved my room - it had everything I needed, and when I arrived Olan had filled my fridge with veggie snacks, and had really taken time to think about what I would like. Most days he brought me beautiful breakfast on a tray and was always around to give advice or a helping hand. In fact he even went out on New Year's Day and got me provisions for my self induced hangover. Just the kindest loveliest man. I adored staying here, but if you're an animal lover and love art and artists this is the only place in Manhattan you should ever stay.
