It was a really fantastic experience staying at David's loft apartment from start to finish. There is a massive amount of light and space and the lay out is really cleverly designed and customised. It has everything you could possibly need and more. In addition it was in immaculate condition. One of the really nice aspects was that you always felt totally at home there. We did not have a chance to meet David face to face as he was overseas but he responded literally within seconds and his neighbour Anais was extremely kind and helped us out with a couple of things. The view over Harlem is majestic and even though you are just across the river you feel like you are in Manhattan. There is some traffic noise but what do you expect in New York! Mott Haven is obviously an emerging area, it has a lot of character and is still very ungentrified but close to the city by metro. I would recommend this apartment to anyone who is looking for a home away from home in NY and I would definitely hope to stay there again next time I am in town.
