We had a good time in New York and at Ezra's. Even though we did not meet him (he was on vacation), he was really nice and helpful, he sent us details about the appartment before we got there and was very flexible.
The appartment is not far from the subway station (line 1) which leads directly to Time's Square or other places in NY in about 25 min.
The neighbourhood was very lively and a bit noisy at night but it did not disturb us because we are sound sleepers and the bed is very comfy!
It's too bad we did not meet anybody in the house (neither Ezra nor his roommate), it would have been nice to have a chat but it was almost like we had the flat for ourselves, which is good anyway.
