Rob is a welcoming, patient, and generous host. Although he lives upstairs and is quick to solve problems, the apartment feels completely private. I barely heard him upstairs, which is a major feat in a city apartment building.
The location is ideal, in my favorite New York neighborhood, close to great restaurants and food shopping. I enjoyed cooking in the beautiful, open kitchen as well. And it was super peaceful to sleep there... almost no noise whatsoever.
In case natural light is important to you, you should know that there isn't much of it in the apartment. The only two windows are at sidewalk level, so it's hard to leave the windows or shades open. And the bottom floor is a basement, without windows. That said, all the A/C units work perfectly and the place is very comfortable. It is rare to find such a large space (with two bathrooms!) in the city. Thank you, Rob, for a lovely stay.
