The apartment is airy and spacious, and spotlessly clean. We were two parents and two adult children and we had plenty of space. Gary is always very responsive, and he has kitted out the apartment with all the essentials, which helped enormously. A great value stay and an excellent location, if you don’t mind the stairs. If you bring ear plugs then you won’t hear the traffic—I imagine this is the case for any central Manhattan apartment. The radiators also hiss when they turn on in the mornings. This was not a problem for us as we use a ‘white noise’ app on our phone which is also really useful. The only real inconvenience was the erratic Internet connection. Overall we had a terrific time here.
