John & Catherine were amazing hosts!!! I moved to NYC to start a new job, and stayed at John & Catherine's for three weeks while I looked for a permanent place to live. The apartment was very clean and had a microwave, toaster, mini-fridge and coffee maker. John & Catherine provided English muffins, butter, coffee, tea, milk, cereal and candies. I really appreciated this, as I was able to grab breakfast quickly before heading off to work. The apartment also had an air-conditioner, drawer, and hangers. The bed was comfortable. The apartment had Wifi and cable TV, both of which worked well. They also had a bookshelf full of interesting books. The bathroom was stocked with towels, soap, and other essential toiletries.

John was very friendly and helpful! He met me when I arrived, helped me with my luggage, and gave me an overview of the city and places to see, which I really appreciated. John & Catherine have lived in NYC for a long time and are very knowledgeable about places to see and things to do. (Tip: Zabar's is definitely worth your time!) He provides a list of places to visit and recommended restaurants, so you can always look something up again if you forget.

John also went above and beyond what normal hosts would do. He gave me a good recommendation to a landlord and checked in with me to see if I had found an apartment or if I needed to extend my stay. I really appreciated this.

The apartment is located close to the A/C and 1 lines, so it is convenient to get to almost anywhere in Manhattan. It is on a side street off of Broadway, so I found it quieter than other areas of NYC.

If you are looking for a clean, easily accessible place to stay in NYC with great hosts, I definitely recommend staying at John & Catherine's!
