Erik's home is placed in a quiet and safe neighborhood, and in a strategic location to reach Manhattan in a short time: just four subway stops away from Union Square, one of the most important hubs in NYC. We didn't meet Erik, but his brother Mark responded effectively to our request: even if the apartment is fully heated, one of us needed another blanket, and we received it promptly. The place was faithful to the description on the Airbnb site, with attention to every detail: I appreciated so much the double curtains, tailor-made for blocking out the morning sun and keeping the bedroom dark. A positive experience, we happily recommend.
