This was my very first trip to NYC and my stay with Rick (David was out of town) was fantastic! From the moment I got there Rick made me feel so welcomed. He is very thoughtful and really makes you feel like this is your place just as much as his. He helped with any questions I had and never made me feel like I was annoying him. The apartment is immaculate! Very modern but very warm at the same time. The BEAUTIFUL downstairs (where the guests stay) was exquisite and better than any hotel. From the artwork to the lighting to the furniture..what an atmosphere! The sleeping area was perfect. The bed was very comfortable and was adorned with comfy blankets, linens, and pillows. There is a little closet provided to put your things in and also an A/C unit just in case it gets too warm. The main living area was just as comfortable. A nice couch to relax on and a TV with surround sound! It was nice to just veg and watch the telly after a long day in the city. The main loft was just as exquisite .I had full access to the bathroom and the kitchen In fact, I made myself a cup of Espresso each morning.:) The location is perfect with just steps away to the High Line, Chelsea Market and lots of restaurants. There is easy access to the subways too. The village I found was the best part of the city and I'm so thankful I found Rick & David's place. I will definitely be going back to the city and when I do, I'll always see if their place is available first!
