David and Rick's place is great. You get loads of comfortable space, far more than you would expect in such a vibrant location in NYC. Your room is at basement level so it is nice and quiet and cool on a hot day, but bear in mind that there's no natural light. David and Rick are very easy going; the shared kitchen is extremely well equipped and stocked (we didn't cook apart from breakfast but you can.) The building feels very safe as there is a security desk at the door, with very pleasant staff. Thoroughly recommend as a great base for exploring the city.
