Ryan's apartment is a find. It's in a great location, a short walk to the Highline and a very easy (20 mins maybe?) walk to theater district. The apartment, because it's a studio, offers a very spacious room as opposed to many NY apartments which offer separate but small living rooms and bedrooms.
Ryan was tremendously considerate in allowing us access to the apartment a few hours early on check in day - we lucked out that there was no outgoing guest. It made a huge difference that we could unload our luggage before noon and set off on our day.
The bed and bedding were incredibly comfortable and the apartment stayed pretty cool even on warm days. We used the air a couple times, so it was always pleasant. There's a specialty food store next door where we could pick up some yummy pre-cooked meals, which added to the convenience and helped save a little money on eating out.
Great trip. Hope Ryan's place is available next time we go to NY.
