This is a great place in a great location. I'd say it's a little bigger than the typical NYC hotel room, but better appointed and much more enjoyable to stay in. It made for a perfect crash pad for our three days of excursions in and around the city. It would also be a great place to rent for a week or two to get some writing done. The neighborhood is laid back and quiet, especially at night. Everything you could need -- groceries, pharmacy, restaurants, subway, laundromat, shopping -- is within a 5-minute walk. Hans was a fantastic host, who communicated promptly and helpfully. I highly recommend it.
