Our host was incredibly friendly and helpful. We were made to feel welcome on our arrival with freshly baked muffins and enough staples for breakfast so that we could just collapse with jet lag! Information was clearly provided regarding transport and the local area with all questions able to be answered. The flat itself was very spacious and comfortable and well set up for all needs. Traveling into New York was not difficult but could be time consuming. This did not worry us. At night you could be back at the flat in 50 minutes from the heart of Manhattan. We had an excellent experience.
