What a perfect location for touring the city! Better than I expected! Felt very safe there. Close to groceries like Trader Joe's, restaurants within 3 mins walk, transportation, UN, etc. Temps were freezing but apartment was toasty. Rooftop view was so beautiful at night. It was nice to be able to use the full-equipped kitchen (with a Keurig) and make breakfast before we headed out on our long days. . And, ladies, he has a blow dryer, clean towels, wash clothes, soap dispensers in the shower, clean sheets, clean apartment, and a washer/dryer outside his front door on the apartment floor. Apartment building was quiet. Hugh was a thoughtful, flexible and helpful host giving his guests priority space and time in his home. He made maps available to help you around the city as well as his insight advice. He's a super friendly, humorous and easy-going guy. Our family of 2 adults and 2 teen girls were very comfortable even though it's a typical NY-size apartment. Thoroughly enjoyed our time in NYC and at his apartment! Thanks, Hugh!
