My wife and I spent six nights in the apartment. It was really nice and we had a great time during our visit.
The apartment matched the description and our expectations. The bedroom was spacious, the living room and bathroom was really nice and the kitchen was well equipped. Eric and Justin had put some breakfast-stuff in the fridge together with som emergency food in the freezer. That was something unexpected which really made us feel welcome.
The apartment was nicely furnished and decorated. It was clean and had everything we needed.
The surroundings was quite nice. A little bit rough around the edges (Eric's description), but we never felt unsafe. A few minutes walk to the subway which takes you downtown or uptown Manhattan without having to change train. Grocery stores and restaurants for breakfast, lunch or dinner nearby.
Eric and Justin were really great hosts and they made sure we felt welcome. We got quick responses from Eric when we e-mailed.
We can recommend this place for exploring NY. Great place and great hosts!
