My wife and I spent a week at Yann's place and had a great time!

The apt is very cosy, very well decorated, extremely bright (facing South with direct views over the new WTC), and surprisingly not as small as we thought when we looked at the pictures.

The location couldn't be better. The apt is in Soho, but in the part where actual people live (the part that's close to a lot of subways).

Yann greeted us with a bottle of wine while he showed us around the apt, so that was a good start. He's very relaxed and friendly so he made us feel very much at home in his place. He's also been very accommodating regarding arrival / departure time.

So overall, great experience, great apartment, great host. The only real price we had to pay for all this is the long stairs to get up there. But hey, that also is New York.
