As a group of three, we recently stayed at Bob's apartment over an 11 day visit to NYC. Don't let it's location scare you off, while it may be further north of the 'main' Manhattan district, it is absolutely no hassle with the apartment located right on the blue subway line. We were absolutely thrilled on arrival, finding the apartment to be much bigger than we expected (even has a second bathroom!), in addition to a very modern, very lovely open living/kitchen/dining area that could comfortably seat six people. Despite the fact we did not meet Bob in person, he was a very accommodating host, and prompt with answering any questions we had. Upon visiting NYC again, would definitely consider Bob's apartment as a choice of accommodation again!
