Staying at Dan's place was like having your own special slice of New York to come home to at night. Dan was easy as well as a lot of fun to work with. He responded to any communication almost immediately and was quite informative about his city and neighborhood. Although his work takes him out of town frequently, it is easy to check in if he is not in town as we did. As to the apartment itself, what was not to love? It is as charming and clean as depicted in the accurate description. I spent a week there with a 9 year old grandson and he loved it as much as I did. Our favorite part of the apartment were the tall French doors opening out to a balcony and large bay window facing the other street, letting in beautiful light. Even though it seemed as if we were right on the street, because you were up about 5 steps, you were above eye level and had plenty of privacy. There was always something to see on the street and at nignt you had the city bustle to watch. The nearby Union Square subway stop went everywhere you would want to go, even to and from the airport and Coney Island. As far as daily living, the kitchen was a typical small NY kitchen, but with everything you need for two people. We used it mainly for breakfast and left overs as we were out all day. The bathroom is small and well appointed, again with everything you need. The large living space is just beautiful and a nice place to hang out if you get bad weather. We could not have asked for a better place to spend the week. Dan, thanks for everything. Hope to see you again when another grandchild is ready for a trip to NYC.
