Apartment is even nicer on the inside than the photos. Spotlessly clean. Being on the ground floor is very handy if you have heavy luggage. I could not believe how quiet it was at night! Imagine that, a sound night's sleep in Manhattan! Yes there is the park across the road, but it is also next to a community garden so you have a garden view out the window. Location wise, it was a little far from the action, but we (usually) enjoyed the walk through the colourful streets to the subway. There are the city bikes you can rent nearby, and the bus lines were also useful for getting downtown. Scott and Jillian were brilliant hosts, leaving some juice in the fridge for our arrival, and making sure we had all the essentials. Check in and check out was smooth and we appreciated being able to leave our bags in the apartment after check out.
New York is an expensive city, but this apartment is spacious, super clean, nicely decorated and good value for money.
