I traveled with two friends and we stayed in Gary's place for 5 nights. We have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. The apartment was centrally located and we were within walking distance of a ton of great restaurants, shopping, and museums. If we wanted to go uptown or downtown, the subway was about a 5 minute walk. The street can get just a tad noisy at night, but that's really just part of being in the city. Gary has several heaters in the apartment, which were much appreciated because of the (unexpected) snow and, as an added bonus, they do help drown out the street noise. I would highly recommend this place for location, easy of communication with the host, comfort, and affordability. Thanks again, Gary!
