Larry was a wonderful host from being flexible to arrival times to being very welcoming, leaving us some fresh fruit, showing us around the place and letting us know where the local amenities are - we were made to feel very welcome :) We even managed to lock ourselves out (no reflection on Larry's instructions or the lock itself!!) and Larry came over straight away to help so couldn't have been happier!
The apartment itself is small but perfectly formed. There were 3 of us staying and plenty of room for us all - the armchair in the lounge makes a very comfy single bed. Larry's artwork on the walls, the original wooden floors and the exposed brickwork make this apartment a real home from home.
The location of the apartment also is fab - sitting between stations 103 and 96 you have great metro access, and when we had to flag down a taxi to get us back from the airport it took seconds. That said, there was no road noise as you're tucked down a small residential street (with Central Park at the end of it - 30sec walk from the front door!) so it was ideal!
Very close to a Whole Foods, Starbucks etc but a slightly bigger walk away are Milk and Levain Bakery and I cannot recommend these places enough!!
Overall an amazing stay - we would definitely return to stay here again when we come back to NY :)
