I stayed at Anne and Rafe’s beautiful apartment last week with my husband and our 9 year old daughter. We wanted a place to stay that was clean, quiet, close to Manhattan, spacious and safe. We also wanted to experience New York as the locals do. The apartment definitely ticked all those boxes for us. As other reviewers have said the subway (Bergen Street) is a stones throw down the (beautiful) street and Mia’s Bakery and Van Leeuwen ice-cream shop are delectable local eateries. The staff there are really friendly too! The neighbourhood is very quiet, safe and friendly. All in all we were happy to return ‘home’ every night weary and in need of a good nights sleep which we got, every night. The apartment has a lot of amenities, it’s clean and spacious. It really made our holiday having somewhere so nice and comfortable to stay. Finally, one could not ask for nicer hosts than Anne and Rafe. We recommend their home without reservation (we all loved it!) and we will definitely return when next we visit NY.
