We had a great time in New York. In the first few days Victoria was out on a trip to Europe, so her friend Elise was there to take care of the apartment, she was really nice to us. The apartment is small but it's just about what you need to have the New York experience. The bed is comfortable and we slept well. The neighborhood is quiet. A handfull of services are available in the area. There many restaurants, delis, whatever you may need. Garfield is a very sociable cat, Darwin stayed in Victoria's room the whole time so we almost never got to see him.
Victoria is a very nice host. As soon as she arrived she gave us a lot of advice on how to get around and on what to see. We even got to have lunch together one day. She's very friendly and a very intelligent woman. Me and my girlfriend had a great time talking to her. I highly recommend her room.
