Kumar and his family were very warm and welcoming. Kumar made sure we had everything we needed and that we were comfortable for our stay. He also checked in regularly to see if we needed anything. He even provided a sheet of local attractions and restaurants that are highly recommended. The neighborhood was pretty quiet and was a great retreat from the hustle and bustle of downtown. The subway was only a 5 minute walk and took around 30 minutes to get to midtown depending on the day. The apartment was great for 2 people and could even fit 4 people if needed. It is on the smaller side, but it's NYC and we were only there to sleep! The apartment wasn't as light and bright as the pictures suggest. It was pretty dark even with all the lights on during the day. The only con of our stay was the cleanliness of the apartment. I think it could have been much cleaner. The floor was pretty dirty. The bathroom had hair in the bathtub drain as well as spiderwebs towards the ceiling and around the window. Also, some of the towels smelled sour. There were extras provided that were much better. Overall, it was a great stay! Kumar was very welcoming and a great host. It was quiet and close to subways, and restaurants. The apartment could have been much cleaner though.
