Presence was a great place for us to stay as first time visitors to New York. The room itself was large with loads of natural light. The queen size bed was comfortable and large enough for two. The mosaic tiled private bathroom housed what could be described as a "shower pit", equipped with an enormous shower head - a great way to unwind after a long day in Manhattan.

The location served our touristy needs well - two blocks from the 23rd St. C and E trains and walking distance to Greenwich Village, the Highline, Chelsea Market, and plenty of great restaurants and bars.

Tony and his wife Lee Ann were very accommodating and helpful, and their suggestions for restaurants and Broadway shows were spot on. All in all, Presence was good value, basic accommodation, in a good location.
