We had a great stay at John's place. It's so big for an apartment in nyc! Lots of space for our little family of 3. There is an extra sitting room off the master bedroom which was a perfect place for our baby to sleep. Location is great - lots of very good restaurants and shops nearby. Beautiful streets of brownstones. One thing to note - these old buildings have creaky floorboards and loud water pipes. You'll hear the neighbors. We are used to living in an old building in the city so it didn't bother us but if you are used to quiet, bring ear plugs or white noise. John gave us great recommendations for places to eat. We loved Franks 457 Spuntino for a special birthday dinner, Coffee from East One, amazing croissants from Le French Tart, and pizza from Baby Lucs!
