I honestly could not have asked for a better host for my first trip to NYC! Arthur (and Ed) are gifted hosts, and made my father and I as comfortable as could be. The space was immaculately clean, and they even took it upon themselves to change our sheets and waste baskets halfway through our stay. There was always coffee in the morning and a few breakfast items so you could quickly run out the door and see the city. Ed even picked up some soy milk for me, which was above and beyond the call of duty!

They are highly perceptive, and I have no doubt that they effortlessly adapt to each new guest and his or her unique needs. When I arrived, Arthur took me on a tour of Chelsea and gave me some pointers on how best to get around the city, as well as a few maps and restaurant/landmark recommendations. Arthur truly will be involved as much (or as little) as you'd like him to be, and he and Ed were an absolute joy to be around--great attitudes, highly knowledgeable, infinitely helpful. The apartment was in a great location, near subway and bus lines, and surprisingly peaceful. When I told Arthur that my father snored, he quickly pointed out that there were ear plugs and a sound machine in the room to help me out. Literally a life saver. Overall, I can't say enough wonderful things.
