Ed was very welcoming - even as our flight/baggage/car was very delayed, he waited for us at his unit, gave us a tour and highlights of the area upon arrival.

The apartment was exactly as it appeared in the listing - no surprises. Ed's apartment is very nice, and we settled right in to the bedroom. We enjoyed the network TV & movies that were provided in addition to the roomy (by NYC standards) bathroom.

The neighborhood was great - we were able to get around via the Columbus Circle subway with no trouble, and found plenty of places to grab food and drink within walking distance. It was also very easy to catch a cab on every street around the block.
