I stayed with Dave and Rick for over a week and because of that I truly had my best New York experience, starting with Dave & Rick, those guys really make you feel welcome with literally an opened door policy and with Dave normally at home you always have a reference guide a couple of steps away. they offer you a whole floor to yourself with complete privacy even for the very paranoid. The place is very comfortable and romantic with a Moroccan theme and if you are lucky enough you get a chance to see Dave performs a song as a bonus.
the area is where everyone wants to be and if you are a foodie like me brace yourself to experience the best cuisine that the Meatpacking District has to offer, and if you are a fan of the nightlife get ready to party but one thing for sure dress to impress because the area's best clubs will eat you alive without the proper attire. as far as the shops you're a few blocks away from the best shopping’s in NY and short cab ride from Central Park in a nutshell for my next trip in NYC they better have my dates available because after staying with those guys I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Go out there have a blast!
