Both Brandon and his place exceeded expectations. He was incredibly responsive with any questions I had leading up to our stay. He was out of town during our stay, but upon entry into his place, there was a map with places to eat/drink in the area. One said, "The best blueberry pancakes in New York." So, of course, we went there - and he wasn't lying. Seriously, go. As for the apartment, it was plenty big for my family of six. The patio is amazing and the area is perfect - right next to the high line.

Overall, it was a fantastic stay. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking to experience New York like a true New Yorker.
