I had the chance to stay two months at David's flat. The flat is very confortable, perfectly equipped with all you might need for a long term stay, huge, full of light and nicely decorated. David is a very kind host, helpful, who agreed to check me in late in the evening, and very responsive whenever I had a problem. The place is very close to Manhattan (about 20 minutes to midtown, though it can be longer on the weekends when there are no express trains, the time can double), people in the building are friendly. Just keep in mind that there are not a lot of restaurants and cafes in the area and that you might want to go to Manhattan to eat out or have a drink, with the exception of the nice restaurant Charlies in the building where the food is good and the atmosphere nice. A great cafe also opened at the corner, with bagels and good coffee. I enjoyed using the gym in the building who is small but has a lot of material to use. If you are a light sleeper and sensitive to noise, you might want to have ear plugs, because the road outside can be quite noisy in the early morning. I recommend the place, thanks David!
