I stayed at Booraem Avenue for 8 weeks during August and September and thoroughly enjoyed my time here.
Situated on a quiet tree-lined one-way street this apartment is a real gem. It is spacious and well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Most importantly - it is very quiet - no noisy neighbours or heavy traffic noise.
The apartment is a real home-away-from-home.The tiled bathroom is huge and very clean + the kitchen is brand new with marble bench tops and has a large fridge and stove plus all the cutlery/crockery and cooking gear you will need.
The bed is very comfy and supplied with crisp linen.
I used the second room as a media room - set up my computer station and hooked into the fast and reliable Wi-Fi supplied.
The lounge room is very comfortable and includes a wide-screen TV that features more channels to watch than you would ever need in a lifetime !!!.
The rooms are bright with sunlight coming into them at various stages during the day. It was very hot outside during my stay, but with two air conditioners and a floor-mounted fan, the apartment was always nice and cool.
The apartment is up an easy flight of stairs on the first floor and the bedroom and kitchen have a lovely outlook onto trees and the back-garden. Also away in the distance you can see the top of the Empire State Building and the some of the skyline of NYC.
Buses into Manhattan are 5 minutes away at the bottom of the street. Also only a few minutes away are two supermarkets plus other shops, banks and food outlets making a self-catering stay a breeze.
The apartment is a great retreat from the noise and rush of NYC - and is only 30-45 minutes by bus from the centre of Manhattan.
Hosts Harry and Harriet live downstairs and are always available for advice and info about not only the local area, but anything to do with your stay in NYC.
Three words that describe this apartment are PRIVATE, COMFORTABLE and QUIET.
If I ever get back to NYC, I would definitely stay here again.
