I highly recommend Ron's apartment for its many significant qualities : a unique location in the heart of Manhattan in the very pleasant district of Chelsea from which you can either walk to lots of very interesting places to visit or take the nearby subway. Moreover, it is a very peaceful and quiet place and you sleep in a very comfortable bed.
Nearby one can either go to restaurants and bars or just cross the street to the very convenient Wholefoods Market .
Last but not least, Ron is a perfect host providing us with very helpful indications as how to find our way around and kindly inquiring if everything is okay and if we have everything we need.
We would gladly go back to Ron's place if we were to visit NY again.
