David was an awesome host, always prompt in returning messages and answering questions. He was extremely patient with us, given that we're still quite green in the word of Airbnb. The apartment was as described and in a great location. We found excellent restaurants and bars all within minutes of walking. It's centrally located, close to the subway station, and walking distance to several neighborhoods. The only downside we experienced was the noise at night from people who've had a bit too much to drink, and delivery trucks early in the morning. But this is sort of the trade off for being in the middle of a lively neighborhood. Would definitely recommend anyone who'd like to experience the energy of Manhattan!
