My daughter and I stayed in John and Karina's apartment for a week. It was a great base from which to explore NY- the F train into midtown is just a couple of minutes walk away. There are countless restaurants/coffee shops/bars etc in the local area. The apartment was pristine, very comfortable and well appointed. We had a small issue getting hot water the first day but John was very responsive and quickly sorted it out for us. There were nice touches when we arrived like chocolates, biscuits and snacks and a kitchen stocked with coffee, tea and condiments. The bathroom had soap, shampoo and conditioner on tap and there were plenty of fresh towels. The bed was super comfy and we slept well. I would recommend being vigilant walking around by yourself late at night- but it's like that in any big city. Top tip... walk across Manhattan Bridge- fewer jostling tourists and great views of Brooklyn Bridge! Thanks for our wonderful stay John and Karina. Highly recommend!
