Hi!
I would only like to say that me and my husband spent an amazing 10 days in NYC. Brian is very kind, friendly and flexible host; he is flexible for check in and check out, he is there for everything you need or you want to know about NYC.
Furthermore, the appartment is clean and you feel really free. You share bathroom which is in good condition and clean.
The reason why we chose Brian's appartment is that you are placed in Midtown and everything is nearby like bars, restaurants, trattoria, grocery market and you can explore Midtown by foot. If you want to explore whole Manhattan and other boroughs you need to do it by metro.
