Gabe was an incredible host; from the clear directions, to suggestions for the area, to being flexible when our flight was cancelled due to weather. The apartment is a fantastic value. It is very close to multiple subway entrances so you can get anywhere in the city easily. Within walking distance there are numerous coffee shops, restaurants, and grocery stores. Gabe stocked plenty of towels and extra linens, and we were able to do laundry with provided detergent. NYC can get very cold in January but Gabe had plenty of extra blankets in the closet and you have access to the thermostat control. The kitchen was clean and well equipped. Really a perfect place to stay and made our week in New York fantastic.
