this was a great stay for us… very clean. apartment had all the essentials, especially in the kitchen. great water pressure, plenty hot water. we felt very safe in the apartment and out and about. GREAT location… so much to do and see within walking distance… personally, we enjoyed the city night sounds but we are the type that can sleep soundly in nyc. we didn’t need to use the heater and even enjoyed sleeping with the balcony doors open (november stay). maria was always in touch and responded super promptly. would stay there again.
