Rory was a great host and responsive whenever I had questions and met us when we arrived late at night. This is a one bed-room apartment with a living-room area (two rooms) that comfortably sleeps four people. Rory also put in an extra bed in case our kids did not want to share a bed. The space itself is in a pretty old apartment building in East Village/Alphabet City, which is a bustling area with plenty of nightlife and restaurants in the vicinity of NYU. While not luxurious and a bit old with slanted floors, the apartment was clean and nicely decorated with every thing ready when we arrived (including a coffee machine, and fresh milk to put in the coffee).
If you come to NYC as a tourist you should know hat it's a bit far from the subway (about 35 minute walk to Union Square or Washington Square) but there is a bus line close by and parking on the street was free. The apartment has a microwave and a fridge but no kitchen or kitchenette, a detail that I might have missed in the listing but that would have been helpful to know before booking. It was also surprisingly quiet at night, very little noise from the streets, and nothing from the neighbors. Rory was generous to let us check out in the evening on our last day so that we did not have to keep our suitcases in the car.
