APT.
Great location sandwiched between Flat Iron and Chelsea districts. Plenty of subway stops nearby to get to all areas of Manhattan and outer boroughs. You can walk to Times Square in less than 20mins. There are plenty of amenities next to the apt. including a great supermarket, wine store and coffee shop. Also numerous eateries nearby - I can highly recommend the NOMAD hotel around the corner if you fancy a splurge.

The apt. itself is wonderful, as per the pictures it's duplex and a great space. It is open plan so the mezzanine and living room area where the sofa beds are only separated by open space so best to be on good term basis with your fellow travelers! If you aren't used to city noise then the apartment is on 6th Avenue and hence traffic noise is quite prominent but for someone who lives in London and has lived in New York before this wasn't a problem. Definitely visit the roof deck during the day and at night - it's magical. AND, oh, if you have a teenager then the 80" TV and XBOX will keep them occupied for the few minutes you aren't out enjoying NY.

HOST
Stav was a great host - charming and knowledge in equal measures. On arrival he gave me a tour of the apt. and the building and then showed me the amenities I mentioned above. AND throughout the visit he kept in contact ensuring I was happy and that I needed for nothing. It was like staying in a boutique hotel with concierge on tap! Highly recommended!
