Reading the reviews before staying at James and Siobhan’s wonderful apartment we had high expectations. In truth these were exceeded, and I would single out three reasons.
1)	The accommodation was very well designed, spacious, functional and spotlessly clean. It was a pleasure to be there
2)	James and Siobhan had gone the extra mile in not just providing the accommodation and those items we expected e.g. shampoo, but breakfast in the fridge, robes and most importantly umbrellas! We live in Southern California where we have little rain and did not come prepared for rain. We had a big storm during our visit, so the multiple umbrellas that James and Siobhan provided were a huge plus for us. Little things that they did not have to do but were the icing on the cake
3)	James and Siobhan are great hosts both at our arrival and subsequently replying to subsequent emails / texts, invariably replying in minutes. They equally gave us space / privacy which we greatly appreciated
In summary we have no hesitation in recommending their apartment as a great place to stay and we will certainty stay again when visiting NYC
P.S. There is a great local coffee shop, the Odd Fox, about 2 blocks away that James and Siobhan had told us about amongst other local recommendations
