We loved this place, and of course Stan is definitely 'the man.' By this I mean the consummate host -- not at all intrusive, but gently guiding us around town by offering suggestions as to places to eat and ways to commute. The room is spacious and private with all the amenities one could ask for, including a comfortable bed, a bathroom and shower (private), wide screen TV, windows that let in a lot of light, and many interesting works of art. (Plus lots of cool books!) Stan invited us to use the kitchen which was also quite spacious and well equipped. The apartment is in a Art Deco apartment building, that is well maintained with an elevator. The location is great, very close to Central Park, and wonderful restaurants, bookstores, and many delightful shopping opportunities. It's just a terrific area to walk around in, quite safe with lots of things to see and do. There are numerous parking garages near by though I would suggest booking ahead particularly during peak season (we came over the Thanksgiving holiday). All and all a delightful experience!
