Pat is super responsive and has a great, large (for NYC) apartment in a great location. It's ideally placed for getting around NYC as close to Union Sq, but also easy to travel to the cool areas of East Village, Lower East Side or Williamsburg.
It's not a boutique type feel but what apartment in NYC is without a high cost? Pat's totally upfront at what you get and what you don't. Overall it's the most spacious, light and best positioned Air BnB I've stayed in, in NYC so far.
