I really enjoyed the location, the flat and my host's attitude to life (and to me, as a guest in his apartment). Pedro is charming, kind and attentive; the flat is clean, simple and very tastefully furnished. I had a great 4-night stay and the only (slight) drawbacks I can think of were the 5 flights of stairs to reach the flat, and the noise of the air-conditioning in surrounding flats during the night. Both are virtually inescapable in New York and shouldn't deter the young or anyone not plagued by insomnia so don't let either put you off! Wonderful comfy bed and pillows, great invigorating shower and big towels - the flat is in a lovely, interesting neighbourhood (the 'real' NY) as well as within easy reach of the major attractions (plus the slightly-less obvious ones such as the High Line, the path that follows the Hudson and the newly opened Whitney Museum). Do go, relax and thoroughly enjoy yourself/ves!
