This apartment is amazing! Greg is an awesome host!

From the moment I arrived he was helpful, generous and informative. As a person he is friendly, very interesting and fun to hang out with. He made a little list of sights to visit as well as some cool food places to check out. But apart from that Greg is full of great ideas for what to do and see in New York. I followed quite a few of his recommendations and was not disappointed.

The apartment is as listed, the photos give a good representation of the space. If anything, it was bigger than I expected. And it's all modern, the building is only a couple of years old. The bedroom is very spacious, with a huge closet and lots of cupboard space as well. The bed is extremely comfortable and Greg had the room all cleaned and set up for when I arrived. The kitchen has everything you might need to cook or just warm up some food. Bathroom is also great, good water pressure in the shower. Greg keeps the apartment nice an toasty warm so you don't have to feel cold. I assume the same machine keeps the apartment cool in the summer. You've got one in your bedroom as well. There is a laundromat just 50 meters away, so even the most laziest of people (me) can go wash their clothes. You can choose to just drop off your bag of dirties and pick them up all clean a few hours later.

The neighbourhood was great for me, as I was on a work trip I didn't want to be in the busier areas downtown. But there is still a lot to do here. Lots of great places to visit within walking distance. The local area also has lots of stores for groceries or some snackfood places and of course a deli on every corner. Amazing public transport connection as well. There are two metro stations, both just 4 blocks away. These have four trains connecting you to the rest of Manhatten (local and express). I was at the office on 23rd street in about 40 minutes door to door. Empire State building is a bit closer and Central park is about half that distance/time away. There is also a direct train to/from JFK airport.

Overall, this is a terrific apartment to stay in. I saw it from the perspective of someone on a work-trip, but I'm sure if your main aim is tourism you'll be happy here as well. Greg is an awesome host, he really made me feel at home. We were both working hard during the time I was there, so we mostly saw each other in the evenings. If you love good TV shows you'll love Greg! You can basically watch any TV show or movie you can think of thanks to the set-up he's got (legally!).

Would definitely stay here again if in New York!
