I was looking for a unique place to stay for myself and a friend while he was visiting NYC. We had issues checking in because we had gotten a few drinks and couldn’t figure it out- the host answered our call at 3am and helped us get into the apartment. After that it was a breeze. Pool is a little chilly but beautiful and clean. The ambiance of the apartment is great and very romantic (just what we were looking for). Traveling to NYC we had a car so we drove to Astoria and took the subway from there and it’s about 20 minutes to Astoria and then 20 minutes on train to Time Square. There is plenty of free street parking. The neighborhood is safe and residential and near major highways. Towels, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer are provided. Surround sound speakers for the TV. Pool table was a great touch. Mini fridge and microwave to heat food along with bottle opener for beers or wine. I would definitely stay here again if looking for a quick romantic getaway from my home. Thank you again!
