Doug's place is very comfortable and exactly as described. He was not home when I arrived but coordinated with his friendly and helpful neighbor to let me into the building and into the apartment. The apartment is charming, spacious, and uniquely decorated. The guest room is at the front of the apartment with great natural light when the windows are open. The bed is comfortable and the room is private and large. There are no locks on the two doorways that can be used to enter the room. This did not bother me but might but helpful for other potentials guests. Gibson, the cat, kept his distance and was a friendly guy when he wasn't taking a nap. The apartment was a perfect spot based on where I needed to be for the weekend and even with a window cracked, city noises were at a minimum over night. Doug and I weren't at the apartment at the same time very often but when he was there, he was easy to chat with and happy to answer my questions. This is a great place for one person and I would definitely recommend Doug and his apartment for a great stay in New York City!
