The apartment is perfect. It is a lovely space with beautiful light and a wonderful homey feel. Being on the first floor, it's easy to slip in an out of the building. AWESOME location with great eateries nearby and a subway stop that takes you right into the heart of Manhattan in less then half an hour. We drove to the apartment and were able to park our car without a headache (huge plus for us). It was a great balance of a peaceful place in a fun neighborhood that was a stones throw from the action in Mid-town.
George was also a superb host. He made us feel welcome, he was easily accessible AND after we shared our plans to move to the city in the near future he sat with us for 2 hours going over places to consider and dealing us very useful tips. The conversation lasted as long as it did because we were having such a lovely time that we opened a bottle of wine and just got to chatting.
I know where I'll be looking to book for any future trips to NYC!
