The appartment was very clean and looked exactly like the pictures. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very clean. Brian was a great host. He stays in the appartment with you but he rarely ever there. If you get a chance, talk to him a bit about the things he does in his free time becasue he is a very interesting person. He can also give you some great places to go while you are in the city.
The location was great if you want to do the touristy things because it is very close to times square and the theater district. BUT the great thing is that it is far enough from times square so his neighborhood isnt mobbed with all the annoying tourists. There are a bunch of cute little resturants all around his appartment, so make sure you check them out.
