Steven was a great host! He was quick to respond to all messages and dealt with any issues as quickly as possible. On the day we checked in, NYC had a lot of rain which caused the boiler to malfunction and the front door the building to get stuck. We were made aware of these issues immediately and attempts at repairs were made that night. Unfortunately, the boiler had to be replaced causing us to not have hot water on our 2nd day. This issue was resolved immediately by Steven who was very apologetic and refunded us for one night! The boiler was replaced on our 3rd day and hot water was restored. Throughout our stay Steven stayed in constant communication with us and updated us on the boiler situation. The apartment was very clean and all amenities were as described. The kitchen and bath have all been recently updated and had everything you would need. Our only complaint is the bedroom was small with the bed taking up all the space but we were aware of that from the photos and it did not affect our stay. The location was perfect. The apartment is located in Midtown Manhattan only a few blocks from the Empire State Building. We were able to walk to 5th Ave with ease and the Subway was also easily accessible. We often chose to walk to the tourist sites and we were able to get to Empire State Building, United Nations, 5th Ave, etc. We also walked to Times Square and Rockefeller Centre which were a bit further of a walk but not unmanageable! We took the subway a few times into manhattan and lower manhattan and the apartment was near Subway lines 4, 5, and 6 as well as walking distance (about 10 blocks) to Grand Central Station. The apartment is located near several pubs, pizza places, bagel places, etc making it easy to grab a bite to eat. We quite enjoyed our stay in this little gem and would happily stay here again!
