The apartment's location was perfect, in a very safe neighborhood, within walking distance of theaters, shops, good restaurants and just about everything else one wants in a New York City location. I met a NYC friend for dinner at the ViceVersa restaurant, just down the street from Niko's apartment, and while not for the frugal traveler it is an elegant quiet place that serves delicious food (book early if you want to eat there before a play.) Niko's communication was excellent, he is a warm and friendly host who goes the extra mile for his guests; after giving me careful directions to the nearby post office, he offered to escort me there if I wanted. He also told me about the SuperShuttle which picked me up in front of the building just when they said it would and got me to La Guardia for less than $25. The bed was comfortable, the apartment quiet, clean, and carefully furnished with warm colors and attractive art.
I would definitely stay there again, and recommend it to a friend.
