John's place is the top floor appartment of a townhouse. Communication prior to the trip and checking in was very easy and John is very responsive. He and his family were also very nice whenever we interacted with them. There are 3 separate bedrooms in the apt, which was great since we visited with two (pre) teenagers. We also enjoyed having two full bathrooms. So a lot of space for the money, which is a luxury in Manhattan. The location is very convenient - close to subway stations, one block to central Park, and many restaurants nearby. Great location to go running in the Park in the mornings. The mini kitchen was a nice commodity as we could make coffee in the morning or relax with wine or dessert at night...about that, John gave us a bottle of wine and some coffee upon checking in, which was much appreciated. The only minor drawback that I could mention is that John's place is not recommended if you have issue with stairs but this was not a problem for us and we had a wonderful time.
