There may be a better way/place to stay in NY...though I doubt it. From the ease of access (we had a late flight, and no problem getting in and settledled in his space), to the comfort and cleanliness of his home, we couldn't have felt more welcome. The info of what to do in the apt, and around the city, was clear and simple. Jon truly knows how to care for, and take care of, his guests.

Now the things we travelers want to know:

The pictures are real. It looks EXACTLY as advertised (we know that's not always the case).

The bed is incredibly comfortable (if we didn't have places to go...we might not have left).

Great shower, water pressure and temperature (see above parenthetical comment).

The fridge...ahh the fridge. (all I will say is....come for the coffeecake...stay for the coffee cake!).

The building is in a perfect location, with easy 24 hour doorman access, and a (pay, but at a decent rate) parking garage next to it..

When you're done...leave the key, close the door, and you're on your way. It couldn't have been easier...except for the not wanting to leave in the first place part.

Jon is someone who knows how to host. Everything we needed (and some things we didn'y even know we needed...did I mention the coffeecake?) was there, and easy to see/use/enjoy.

This is how it should be done; he is such a good host, to paraphrase Jack Nicholson, "He makes me want to be a better guest.*"

*I am actually a great guest:)
