Howard and Renata's place was the perfect spot for our getaway to NYC. Having stayed in Manhattan before, we wanted a different experience - and we couldn't have asked for anything better. The apartment is exactly as pictured - newly refinished and quite spacious. Access to the subway is just a few blocks away - perfect for exploring, and a nice, quiet place to return to.

We didn't eat in often, but the kitchenette provided enough appliances to keep items cool and heat up as necessary. There was also a coffee pot and tea kettle, though we didn't use them. The tv and wifi were great to have, too!

We really enjoyed visiting with Harold and Renata. They were warm, welcoming, and quite charming. We stayed in touch mostly via text messaging, but also face-to-face. What a nice family! We would love to be repeat renters. Next time we might even bring our two kids - there's plenty of room for them!
