We had a nice stay at Joel's. He was flexible re. our check in time, gave us a tour upon our arrival, and communicated with us consistently during our stay. His house was lovely- quiet and clean- and it was nice to have the entire third floor to ourselves. While it rained throughout most our visit, we did enjoy one afternoon of sun out on his front porch. And the place was a mere 10 minute walk from 23rd and its shops and restaurants (including the delicious ice cream place Salt and Straw, Spielman bagels, and Bamboo Sushi, to name a few). Would stay with Joel again.
