If you are looking to stay in Manhattan then you really can't go wrong with Tommy's ( Shane's) place. It is a short walk from shops, restaurants, bars and a metro stop. Shane is a brilliant host and we couldn't have asked for more. We were delayed in arriving by a couple of hours but Shane waited around so we could check in. Also we were allowed to check out late on our departure date which was very much appreciated.
This place has everything you need for a NYC visit and is easy big enough for 2 people. I would love to stay here again if ever we return to NYC.
