I spent 11 days in Tali's and Kim's apartment from mid-October. Check-in was very easy and Tali introduced herself in personal shortly after my arrival. She was very responsive, kind and caring during my entire stay.
I loved the place from the very first moment. The apartment is very spacy, state-of-the-art, extraordinarily clean and well equipped. There is an ample supply of towels, bed liners, blankets, cushions as well as toiletries and kitchen equipment. And - maybe interesting for female guests - an amazing hair dryer. There is also a washing machine and a dryer directly located in the apartment, which is very convenient. The heating is fine.
The apartment is located in a pleasant and safe neighborhood. It's only approx. 10 min walk to reach the Utica subway station from which you can take the express A-train leading directly to downtown Manhattan (only 20 min ride). There is also a bus leading to downtown Brooklyn within 30 minutes.
I tried out some coffee shops and restaurants described in the provided comprehensive "guest manual", among which I would strongly recommend the French Georges André coffee shop and the Italian place Pizza Panza.
I would definitely recommend this place to everybody who wants to spend some or more relaxed days in New York with the highly comfortable opportunity to go to Manhattan within a short period of time, but to be out of the hustle and bustle of the City in the evening and at night.
I had a very nice stay and will definitely consider this gorgeous place again for my next visit in NYC. Thank you so much and all the best!
