Nick's place was the perfect location for exploring Brooklyn and Manhattan. Arrival and departure was smooth and easy, the apartment was clean and nicely decorated, and there were even chocolates and coffee left for us. There is definitely some noise from the family/kids in the house above, but we are used to that and it did not bother us (and it's not at unusual hours). I met Nick briefly and he was very pleasant and helpful. We had a very restful stay and would stay here again.
