Nick was kind enough to accomodate my parents during Labour Day weekend and was very responsive when I requested an additional three day extension. The listing is a very central location. The neighbourhood has alot of cafes, restaurants, cocktail bars, two supermarkets and a fruit and vegetable market all within a 10 minute walk radius. It is perfectly situated to deal with all your immediate needs. It is also about 5 minutes walk to the L train and about 8 minutes train ride to the Union Square. The neighbourhood is very safe.
The apartment is perfect for a couple. The actual apartment, on the third floor of a walkup, was clean and spacious with a good size kitchen and a lot of light. My mother noted that the instructions for use of the applications were very detailed and easy to follow and everything was easy to find. I highly recommend this listing for a weekend or a week long stay in NYC.
