Such a fantastic experience! We were a "mixed-age" group of 2 couples, a mother in law and brother...1st time to NYC on our way to a Bermuda cruise...we could not have chosen a better place to stay! William is an exceptional host- allowed us to drop our bags off early since we arrived at 9am and insisted on carrying our luggage up to the apartment (alot of luggage!!!). The space itself was perfect for us despite being 2 couples and 2 singles, it was quite a bit larger than I expected and we were able to "share" the space beautifully. It is very stylish with some old school charm and very clean. The beds were EXTREMELY comfortable, linens were fresh & soft. We had everything we needed to make a quick meal before heading out and we were happy to return at the end of the day! William went as far as putting fresh flowers in the apartment and lighting candles at the entry foyer in the evenings...very kind & hospitable. In terms of location I wasn't quite sure what to expect since this was our 1st visit to NYC...that said, we had everything we needed within walking distance (Whole Foods, Liquor Store, Restaurants) and found an awesome little Jazz bar (Paris Blues) within a 10 minute walk. We walked at all hours of the day/night and never felt uncomfortable, the neighborhood is beautiful. This will be our "go to" spot whenever we return to the City. Hands down.
