Itai was an excellent host! I really appreciated his quick communication before and during my stay. Picking up the keys was so simple. The location near Union Sq is really nice and it's also only 2 train stops to Williamsburg! There is a really great natural food/organic market footsteps which was so clutch. The apartment is cozy and comfortable and the amenities were exactly as described. It is perhaps one of the quietest places I've been in Manhattan - which is a great relief after a busy day working or touristing the city.
