if you like faceless hotels with no charm, this is not for you. Its a real apartment for real people. Like any home, theres a few chips in the woodwork, the bathroom is small, but this is the real manhattan and you'll feel at home very quickly. Sne is a great host and we felt welcome and comfortable right from the start. The location is perfect, we could walk everywhere or grab the subway when we were a bit footsore. Lots of places to eat, but will call out Ippudo, a ten minute walk away for some really excellent soup that brought us back to life after our flight from london.
