The area where the apartment is is up-and-coming. There is a deli nearby and a great little restaurant. Outside of the house you have a great view of lower Manhatten. The house is being renovated right now but the little backdoor garden is a nice place to relax in the evening. For four people the apartment was a bit cosy but it was manageable.
Tom was really nice. He asked us regularly if we needed anything else and was easy to reach.
