If one is looking to experience to authentic NYC living in heart of lower Manhattan, and my opinion the best area, Yaniv and Vanessa's place is perfect. Just steps from Washington Square Park, a major subway hub, NYU and only a few minutes walk to historical Christopher street. The space was quite large by Manhattan standards and very comfortable. I didn't do much cooking but the apartment well well stocked to if one desired. But really with so many amazing restaurants and cafés within walking distance, why would anyone spend precious vacation time cooking. I would say if anything the fridge was a little too full to put much of my own food in, but I didn't have much more than some fresh fruit and a six pack of beer, so it worked for me just fine. The TV looked nice but i never even turned it on, there's too much to do and too little time in NYC. The massage shower head had amazing pressure and was certainly a nice bonus. The King size bed was comfortable and still the large bedroom did not seem cramped at all. 4th floor walk up might be a problem for some people and the neighbor is very lively even until late into the night, so that might be worth considering for some. The hosts left a wonderful information packet on the table with useful phone numbers and addresses and instructions for how to use the window AIr Conditioners. Their friend met me with the key and maintained excellent communication from a few before I was to arrive all the way through till my lady day. Overall I could not have asked for a better experience, and hope that the place will be available again the next time I go to visit NYC. Five out Five stars from me.
