If you want the real thing, New York for "normal" people, this is a place for you. Located in a nice and quiet neighbourhood, far from skyscrapers and massive advertising panels but well connected with public transport to the centre, David's apartment is a welcoming place to come back in the evening after exhausting days of sightseeing. The flat makes you feel at home with its warm ambience and it has all the facilities you might need (we used the kitchen only for the breakfast but you can easily cook proper meals there). It's not new, but we found it clean and well-equipped. David gave us all possible instructions in advance to make sure everything run smoothly and indeed we did not have any problem fro check in/out and during our stay.
I would no doubt recommend the place for a couple (maybe one more person could fit on the sofa).
