My stay at Seth's was just wonderful!
It was cleaned especially for me, half an hour before I arrived. It is a cosy artist appartment, with a lot of personal stuff, which I personally prefer above a stylish commercial and 'empty' appartment.. It is spacious and location is fantastic. From JFK, there is a direct metroline to 14th street! And citibikes, Meatpacking and Highline around the corner..
Seth is very relaxed, kind, trustworthy and reachable. He responded within minutes, if I had a question. Was very flexible with leaving my bag during the day of departure, as my flight was in the evening..
And Bernice, the cat, is a lovely old lady. I think you really should like cats, and to take care of her, she's worth it!
The only downside COULD be there is no wifi, but I personally never missed it. With a small laptop you'll have broadband.. There is wifi everywhere in NYC..
