Brendan was a great host, very forthcoming and helpful, both in terms of advance information as well as during our stay, always reachable and quick to response. The apartment was very nice (clean, fully equipped kitchen, etc.), and the location is convenient to get into downtown New York via subway (the next station is just a couple of minutes to walk). The only disadvantage of the location is that there are no really nice sit-in restaurants around - at least we did not find any (although there are food options and convenience stores readily available). All in all, we were very happy with our stay, and I can only recommend Brendan's apartment for future AirBnB customers. Thanks, Brendan.
