Wow! Even after all of the rave reviews, I was blown away by Olan's caring, generous hosting. He could not have been kinder, more generous or more considerate. He made us breakfasts, provided snacks and even quality DVDs for when it got just too cold outside!

The room is just like the picture, the bed comfy, with luxurious sheets. There is a lovely sense of light in the room and the sunshine comes in. By Manhattan standards the room is large.

The location is fabulous, with a subway station about a block away, the Chelsea markets less than a block away and the Highline about the same.

Olan has effectively converted the lounge room into another bedroom (which he has). This means there isn't a lounge room, only bedrooms and a computer nook connected by hallways. There is also the reality of a small space with dog + cat. Ie, the cat's food bowl is on the bench and there is a pee mat for Al the dog, in the kitchen (old dogs need concessions). If you can manage with those realities, I highly recommend.

The apartment was clean and delightfully arty, our room squeaky clean, and Olan as a host was simply knock your socks off, 5 star.
