James, our host, was happy to answer any questions or give suggestions on places to see or restaurants to dine in New York City. His one bedroom place is a four floor walk up in an solid quiet building, blocking out noise except an occasional siren. The old building has lots of character. He stocks the apartment with every imaginable toiletry you might need or have forgotten. James also had extra linens. My friend brought a single sized air mattress for the living room floor and used the extra blankets. The attention to amenities shows in the apartment.
For check in:
At an agreed upon time, James buzzed me into the apartment. We got the keys to his place when we met up with him.
James told us a few things (quirks in the building/unit) which were unique to our stay and left.
The location is great for anything you might want to see in the city and the bed was comfortable.
This is an ideal place for a New York getaway. James wants his guests to have a great time.
