I booked 6 nights in Phil's apartment and loved it. Phil and his cat are awesome. The description of the apartment was according to the description, the room is perfect and has a lot of good details. There is even heating, a fan and a/c in the room. Being an addict to caffeine, the coffee was also great. Location is super easy to reach, it is only 3min to the next subway station and 7min to a gym (try the free day pass of Blink if you are into sports). A lot of shops, delis, coffee shops, restaurants and a supermarket are just around the corner. Privacy wasn't a problem at all. Phil gave me a lot of privacy and wasn't there most of the time during the day. So, overall, this is the place to go when you come to NY! Highly recommended.
