Art and Ed were very warm and welcoming hosts. Art spent a considerable amount of time introducing us to the apartment which was impeccably furnished. We were able to make full use of the lounge and kitchen and there was a very good choice of food for breakfast each day. Art and Ed were a fund of local knowledge. As a result we saw places in New York which we may otherwise have missedq. We were also able to use their washing machine and they could not have been kinder.
