So me and my friend went to NYC for the first time (first time America as well), and we couldn't had a better stay! Kirk's apartment is in Upper East Side of Manhattan, a great location since it's a nice neighborhood. Typical New York houses and streets, and not too noisy either. I was afraid it would be very noisy, but it really wasn't, and still so close to everything. Around 3 blocks away from Central Park (around 10 minutes walking), and with plenty of nice restaurants and supermarkets nearby. The apartment is also just perfect, it's big enough and still very cozy, plus Kirk is such a nice guy, very helpful as well. Really not your typical landlord, very relaxed and with interesting stories to tell. So all in all just perfect, the price for what you get and the location as well, is almost a bargain (for NYC standards). My next time New York will be in Kirk's apartment for sure.
