We had a great week staying at Cary's and Tumy's place.
Although we didn't spend that much time in the apartment because we basically left early and came back late every day to explore NYC we always felt welcome when we were around.
Cary and Tumy were super nice and friendly and shared breakfast as well as touristy advice gladly when needed.
The room itself wasn't the largest, but since we were mostly out all day that was perfectly okay.
You'll have a great time when you need a simple but nice place to stay!
