We enjoyed out stay in New York and thought Eric's place was well equipped. He gave us a in depth tour of the apartment and made sure we were settled in okay. Unfortunately on the first night the shower didn't work. Although Eric let us use the basement bathroom, we felt that the shower wasn't prioritised to be fixed as we had to use the basement bathroom all week. Eric also had workmen in the whole week to refurbish the basement. We felt a bit uncomfortable with all the builders etc coming in and out of the house. Although we didn't mind the stairs up the top floor being open with just Eric in the house, with all the other people we didn't feel that safe or secure. Maybe with all the restoration work the house shouldn't have been let out that week? However we thought the location was pretty good and Eric was accommodating as a host.
