Being greeted by Rod when arriving after a very long flight(s) from Australia was like being welcomed by family. We immediately felt at home and being this was our first trip to New York, Rod was just as excited for us as we were to be there. The apartment very much lived up to expectaion as described and more. Treats left for us, chocolate, coffee, tea etc - how to use everything was clearly explained so we were never guessing, we just didn't want to leave! The bed was super comfy, washing machine and dryer a real added bonus as we didn't have to leave the apartment to use it and the location of the apartment was second to none!!! Rod armed us with recommendations for the area, all fantastic!! We really can't say enough about what a wonderful experience it was to stay here. Quiet and cosy, shower was great, towels were fluffy, you just won't be disapointed. Thank you guys so much for welcoming us and enhancing our experience of New York, we can't wait to come back and visit you and this unbeleviable city again!!
