Stephen was a very good host – communication was fast and direct – but his flat did not work out for us. The location of the flat close to Central Park is great, but unfortunately it’s located right above a very busy street that is well audible even with closed windows during night time. We were staying there during a very hot week (>25 degrees Celsius during the night, ~35 Celsius during the day) and while the portable A/C unit could certainly cool the flat down, it only did so very loudly (common for this type of unit) and the flat would only stay cool as long as the unit was running.
