Great base for a trip to NYC. My husband and I stayed for 5 days and travelled to Manhattan every day. Easy to catch the subway, only 7 minutes walk from the apartment. The neighborhood is safe, friendly and vibrant. Being British tourists, we felt the locals were very welcoming towards us. Ernesto was helpful and greeted us when we checked in. Communication was fast and efficient. Bed was comfy and we even had a view of the Manhattan skyline from our bedroom window! We went to the nearby Celtic Deli (43rd street) every day as they made the best fresh NY sandwiches for a reasonable price. We also enjoyed Philomena's Pizza which is walking distance away. Would definitely return and recommend to friends and family!
