We stayed for 8 nights at Katharine's apartment and had a fantastic time in New York. Katharine's apartment was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay, we were two adults and our 15yo son. The location could not be beaten, with the subway station West 4th right around the corner, it was super easy to get around. Although we also could also walk easily to East Village, Soho, Chelsea, etc. Katharine was a pleasure to deal with, great communicator and she met us at the door to the apartment to hand over keys etc. Wireless was faultless, and a very nice touch was that Katharine had left us some excellent freshly ground coffee. Thanks Katharine for a great stay, we'll be back. One of my hi-lights was a trip to Murray's Deli across 6th and on the left side of Bleecker, the best array of cheeses and meats I've ever seen. Dinner at the little Japanese/Korean restaurant was a very pleasant surprise, across the street and 3 or so blocks up heading away from 6th. Washington park on a Saturday night is loads of fun.
