Our stay at John's place was fantastic. Right from the start communication was good and John was always available to answer any questions we had even before the trip. Getting to the apartment by shuttle was easy and check in was a breeze. The apartment is conveniently located near the subway and it's an easy ride on the 1 train to most of the sights in NYC making it a convenient base to get around NYC. there is a great cafe, Taszo for good coffee and delicious breakfast nearby. John gave lots of great suggestions and was always checking in with us during our stay. Quite a safe neighbourhood and we didn't feel the least bit unsafe when returning late at night. Also a short stroll to great views of the Hudson River. I recommend John's place!
