My sister and I stayed at Matthew's apartment for 5 nights early April and felt right at home. He's a wonderful host, a great communicator and obviously has what it takes to create a welcoming and stylish atmosphere.

The apartment was airy, spacious and full of light. Nice furniture, everything clean and tidy, lovely wooden floor. Kitchen well equipped, even if small in size (which wasn't a problem for us at all as we explored the plethora of bars, cafés and restaurants around us). Bathroom cute, fully functional and immaculate.

The West Village neighborhood was just as charming as we expected. Cool eateries and cafés everywhere (the best coffee definitely from Jack's downstairs!), few minutes to the Hudson river for runners, lovely and varied areas to explore on foot, easy and quick subway connections to all directions in the city.

We had an amazing time in NYC and Matthew's home served as a great home base. Would be happy to stay again in this apartment next time round. Highly recommended!
