The apartment was easy to find and on a main road. It was close to a subway and only a short ride into Manhattan. The neighbourhood was quiet except for the occasional neighbour's party, but that's understandable as it was the festive season.

Our host, Tommy, was always just a phone call away with helpful advice, neighbourhood tips and whatever else we required. The apartment was clean, spacious and it had all the modern conveniences as well as a great kitchen.

All in all, it was an effortless and comfortable experience. It made New York for us all the more enjoyable.
