After driving back from the Catskill's and our daughter's weekend wedding - Al's apt was the perfect place to pour into and unwind. It was cool (hot week in NYC!), beautifully furnished, extremely quiet and had the most comfortable master bed. Very convenient location - subway, market, restaurants and Starbucks all right out the front door. The piano was a bonus - my singer/songwriter daughter stayed 2 nights, and ended up writing 2 songs on that piano! Al was communicative and accommodating - always pleasant, and the only downside to my visit was that I never met Al in person! Next time...
