I stayed in Gary's apartment for a week whilst I'm New York for work and I LOVED it. Brilliant location, it was so nice to get out of the mania of midtown. Great cafes, restaurants, grocery stores and yoga studios within walking distance. A few minutes from the subway and only 10 mins in a taxi to 5th avenue, Times Sq etc. Highly recommended! Gary kindly provided coffee and the kitchen was perfect for cooking. Finally, it was quite noisy at the weekend with cars, sirens etc but this is NYC so just be prepared with your headphones!
