Brian was a wonderfully accommodating host who dealt with my difficult schedule to get me set up in his apartment. The apartment itself is spacious, clean, and in a wonderful location. Close enough to SoHo to provide easy walking to major subway lines, but far enough away to avoid being swamped with people. Having lived in Nee York before, I doubt you'll be able to find a better apartment, in as great a location, for a lower price.
