We had a great three days in Matthew's place. It's located in a fantastic part of the East Village, with an abundance of excellent bars and restaurants quite literally on its doorstep. The apartment felt lived in and cared for, and as a result homely. On top of that, Matthew and his wife, Phoebe, were very kind, relaxed and helpful throughout our stay. We experienced no problems of any kind, and I couldn't recommend staying with Matthew more.
