Sam and Emily's basement apartment was perfect for the trip I planned to New York for my husband. It was clean, comfortable, and allowed us to come and go so easily. Their keyless entry system meant I wasn't worried about carrying or losing anything extra. They are so close to an easy to navigate subway station which allowed us to leave our car parked (on street) throughout our entire weekend stay. They live within reasonable walking distance to plenty of places to eat and a drug store or two for anything you may have forgotten or need for your stay. There is not a tv (that I noticed) if that's something you like to have, but the wifi worked well. They request no shoes in the apartment and do provide slippers for guests but if sharing footwear is not your thing I would recommend bringing slippers or socks from home. We arrived prior to when I said we would be checking in and Sam and Emily were very flexible in allowing us to drop off our things as we set off exploring. They were also quick to respond to any questions and extremely friendly! I would definitely stay here again!
