Matthew's apartment is in one of the very best neighborhoods in Manhattan, and you can't find a more convenient spot. It's only 2 blocks from the subway (if you want to go downtown or uptown), about 1 block from the cross town bus stop, and 2 blocks from Central Park. Matthew was home when we arrived. He and I agreed that meeting new people and feeling like you have a friend in the city that you are visiting is the best thing about AirB&B. He checked in throughout our stay to make sure that things were going smoothly. His apartment was clean, very comfortable, and there was plenty of room for me, my husband and our teenage daughter. Had we wanted to cook, his kitchen was well stocked with everything we would need. He left us with membership cards for all of the major museums -- a super nice (and cost savings) thing to do. We would definitely stay here again when we come back to NYC.
