I had a wonderful ten night stay at Ira’s place on the Upper West Side. Despite a nearly five hour flight delay which brought me into Manhattan much later than expected, Ira stayed in constant touch and made sure that the revised key arrangements were clear and easy to follow. She was prompt and clear in all communications I had with her throughout the entire reservation, arrival and stay process. The apartment was spacious and very clean when I arrived. Despite being located on a very busy avenue, her place was fairly quiet and I was not bothered at all by any traffic noise. Being a former New Yorker I did not need much hosting, but Ira checked in during my stay to see how things were going. The neighborhood is fantastic, with easy local/express subway access and countless stores and restaurants, including a supermarket across the street and a Whole Foods about a block away. Loved my stay at Ira’s, and hope to stay there again in the future!
