Dan made sure that he could greet me at the apartment when I arrived in the city, and he made me feel perfectly comfortable in my stay there.

The apartment is a gem, exactly as pictured. It is a studio, so it's compact, but feels very spacious due to the high ceilings, internal arches and French windows. The location is perfect for my tastes. It's two blocks to the Union Square Greenmarket, across the street from one of my favorite tapas places, and accessible to subways to every direction of the city.

Everything in the place works. The bed is warm and comfortable, I liked the small but effective shower, the entertainment center is amazing for music and videos, and the coffee maker and Italian ground coffee he provided were just what I needed in the morning. Even the street noise wasn't bad for a 1st floor apartment.
