We have never visited New York with our kids before and Jonathan's apartment/home was such a comfortable place in such an unfamiliar territory. Our family felt right at home, the apartment was spacious and lofty and we had plenty of room to sprawl out and relax after hours and hours of walking around NYC. The long table is especially nice, we were able to draw and doodle and invite our friends from Brooklyn over for a meal and fit comfortably. Perfect accommodations for a family of 4. They were kind enough to welcome us to staples in the fridge + cabinets which made meal planning easier.
the location is great. one or two blocks the "the cantine" which was a nice place to grab coffee and a healthy breakfast. on the same block was a great mexican restaurant. A few blocks farther was a great bakery/cafe (no seating) and a 10 minute walk to an awesome stretch of restaurants and shopping and a big park for kids to play.
definitely would stay again. thank you again for being such wonderful hosts!
