James's apartment is very good place to stay in and to make your base for travelling Manhattan. It's within walking distance of Penn Station, Empire State Building and Chelsea Market, and is just a few short metro stops away from attractions further north like Central Park. It's a peaceful and quiet neighborhood, with plenty of grocers, laundromats and other amenities near by. The apartment itself fits 3 quite comfortably, though the 3rd will have to make do with a nice sofa bed. It has all the necessary living amenities, and is very well put together. James himself is a brilliant host - friendly, helpful, responsive. It's been a delight staying with him, and we'll definitely visit again when we next come by NYC.
