Evan was a great host and very responsive. The apartment for 2 people was spacious, clean, and well located. A metro station is a 5 minute walk so getting into New York City was easy which took approx. 30 to 35 mins from start to finish. Nearby to the apartment is plenty of resturants so this is where we ate most of our even meals. Having never been to New York before, I knew it was expensive eating/drinking out, but I did not expect alcohol to be as expensive as it was, so be warned (near Times Square $56 for 4 bottles including a small tip and $18 for 2 small cans of cider in Astoria).
PS: The shower is amazing! I have never seen anything like it... I won't spoil it but you will be pleasantly surprised! In fact, I want to get one like Evan's for my bathroom now!
