What a incredible little find. Before our visit Madison was nothing but helpful to us, gave us tips for the airport and all the information we needed. We stayed in the apartment for 5 nights after which we felt like it was home. It's the perfect size for a couple, the whole place is very clean, tidy and has everything you would need. Also across the street is a little grocery store where we got some groceries and also round the corner at the nearest train station (Halsey street) is a pharmacy which sells a larger range of groceries. The location for us was ideal, it's about 25 mins to lower Manhattan door to door and 35/40mins to Central Park/Times Square area, the trains are really easy to use especially if you live in a city like we do, they are easy to follow. The nearest station is literally a 5 minute walk away, like any areas near a big city, it isn't going to be like a little village or living in the suburbs, remember you are on the outskirts of one of the biggest cities in the world! So it is busy but we felt safe and welcomed. We got the subway there and back everyday and bought a week travel pass for $30 and is definitely worth the money, however we did decide to get a cab home one night as we had a lot of shopping and was very late at night, but we would of done that if we was in London, most people would.(we felt lazy that day!) cab from near Central Park was about 35/40 dollars. The area to us gave us a sense of home and it made our experience of NY real, rather than in a hotel in Manhattan. Staying here you see so much more, experience more people and sights. Madison was so helpful during our trip and also Messaged to make sure we got there ok and to see how our trip was going. She also looked after our suitcases for us on our last day as we already checked out and our flight was late that day, it was like living for a friend rather than a stranger. And New York, well it is a magical place and a place worth visiting every time you have the chance to. Our best city visit to date. Thank you again Madison for making our visit a warm and welcoming one.
