We hoped for a great time and received even more. Ephraim is the best host with a great place in a great location. The apartment is lovely with a great living room, a kitchen with coffee and tea etc., clean bathroom with plenty of towels and a spacious bedroom with a very comfortable bed. It's only a few minutes away from the subway and local restaurants, breakfast places and bars. The suggestions from Ephraim were spot on - we know as we visited most of them! We stayed 5 nights and would happily have stayed many more. When we come back to New York this will be the first place we book.
