Douglas was a great host. We were able to drop our bags off early, grab a bite to eat while we waited for the apartment to be cleaned and even offered their dining table and hot tea - they went out of their way to make us feel at home! We had a 10 month old with us so the extra accommodations for children were beyond anything we could find at a hotel and the playroom upstairs is a child's heaven. For 3 adults to stay in NY with a full kitchen and the space allotted it was more than adequate. Just be aware of your surroundings if coming home late on the subway. Overall it was a great trip and would stay again.
