Tim was a great host, he arranged for his lovely friend to let us in and out. The Apartment is in a great location for exploring Manhattan, the subway station on the L line is right outside. It's slightly more tricky to get around Brooklyn (we found bikes the quickest way to go downtown!) the apartment was well equipped although the pans were not really suitable for cooking, a bit old and rusty! Great coffee machine, very comfy sofa and very secure and friendly building. Thanks for being a great host!
