Rick and David's place is absolutely perfect for the independent airbnb traveler looking for a beautiful, clean place centrally located in Manhattan. While I didn't have the opportunity to meet David (who was away), Rick was very helpful, friendly, and easily approachable. He was a great resource for transportation info, neighborhood suggestions and even found me a hair dryer (I'd forgotten mine)! The apartment is terrific and the living space was quiet, private and extremely spacious. Breakfast is included and comes with an easy to use coffee system. I'd highly recommend David and Rick's loft. Subway easily accessible and walking distance to everything...much better than an apartment, especially when needing to stay in NY for more than a couple days.
