I stayed at Brandon's with my little brother and mother during our trip to NY. Brandon was out of town but definitely made us feel very welcomed by reaching out a lot before the trip. In the apartment there were handwritten notes with instructions, the WiFi password and greeting. The apartment was not huge but very spacious for the three of us! I slept on the couch - which was very comfortable and my mother and brother shared the huge bed. The apartment is 5 flights up which could be a problem for people with health issues but we did not mind it. The location was really great- literally like 3 blocks away from Times Square. It is the perfect place to stay because it is close to the excitement but just far enough if you need a second away from it all. Traveling around via train was also very easy since the apartment was so close to Times Square - the hub of all transportation/trains pretty much. I would definitely stay here again with family, friends, by myself - great place.
