We had a wonderful time visiting NYC and were thrilled with the accommodations and our gracious host, Rick. (David was out of town). Rick made us feel like his and David's lovely place was a home away from home for us in New York City. His knowledge of the city and hints for great restaurants and places to go were fantastic and made our time there even more enjoyable. He also communicated with David long distance to get more information for us on the local jazz scene which pointed us in the direction of some of the best music we heard while we were there! So if you are considering a stay in New York City you really just have to stay with Rick and David. You will be right in the heart of the city within walking distance of anything you could want and just a subway away from all that Manhattan has to offer!!
