I loved staying with Mel and Paul! They are the kindest hosts I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and we became friends over the duration of my stay. The location is very convenient to the subway and very close to the park and the City Museum of New York. The apartment is extremely clean and has pretty much anything you need for a short term stay. There are some pretty good food options nearby as well. I highly recommend staying here if you are planning on being in New York and would not hesitate to stay here again.
