Larry was a great host. It was not a problem for him when our arrival was delayed because our bus broke down. He met us at the apartment and showed great patience explaining where the local shops were and where to get the subway trains, including drawing maps. He even texted me later in the evening to make sure to tell us to get in one of the first five cars in order to get out at Battery Park, as we had told him we were visiting Ellis and Liberty islands early the following morning .Larry left a well stocked fridge and a bowl of fruit in the kitchen and told us to help ourselves. Another nice touch were the vases of fresh flowers in different places around the apartment.
The apartment itself was ideal. It is clean, with a lovely comfortable bed and and with plenty of Larry's lovely colourful artworks adorning the walls. Other pluses were its proximity to Central Park and to two subway stations.
Since it was our first visit to New York in many years, we were somewhat apprehensive about using the subway late at night. Our fears were unfounded and we enjoyed finding our way around and felt completely safe, including arriving back late at night.
If you wish to visit New York you won't go wrong in booking Larry's apartment.
