Rob‘s place is in a great location for different bars and restaurants. The subway is close (one block in either direction) and you can get around Manhattan easily from his place. The main sites (from battery park in the south to central park further uptown) are all accessible within 25-30 minutes at most. We found it to be a great starting point for exploring the city. It is not huge but depending on what you want to do in Manhattan it is enough for 4 people comfortably and can even fit six with the air mattress. Rob was easy to communicate with and always had an answer for my questions. Enjoy your stay and makeover memorable!
