Great accommodations. The location is terrific, with Central Park a block away, the Museum of Natural History a few blocks away, and Lincoln Center also in walking distance. The abundance of eateries in the vicinity includes a respectable Italian restaurant just next door to Matt’s place. And when you need to get around town, the Broadway and Eighth Avenue subways are only a few minutes away by foot. The room, Matt’s study, is a bit small, but certainly works for a single person or a couple traveling light. The kitchen too is somewhat small, but very workable. The corner living room is beautifully appointed and a treat to spend your down time in. Matt is generous with his space and his kitchen provisions, and if you are lucky, you’ll be treated to a jazz recital as he rehearses for one his frequent performances. He even went so far as to help me with my luggage when it was time for me to leave, and to hail a cab for me. The only drawback I encountered during my stay was the very present street noise, which comes with staying in the middle of NYC.
