If you have to go to New York then Robert MUST be your choice. You have a full apartment for you: large bedroom with king size bed, your own bathroom, an elegant living room with a large screen tv and a big sofa (!), a well equipped kitchen where you can store foods, cook, eat everything.
Robert is a fantastic superhost: he will leave the first floor (he lives on the second floor) for you alone. But if you need to have a chat he is always available. The location of his house is the best in New York: elegant neighborhood, restaurants, Whole Foods, and the red line metro within 3 minutes walking and the A, B, C, D lines at 5 minutes. Central park, Columbia University... everything's close to Robert's house. Next time in New York I'll be sure to have the best place to stay at Robert's house.
