100% recommend!! A friend and I from england stayed with Agnes for 3 nights. The apartment is brilliant, large room, everything you could need (plus loads of snacks and bottled water), well equipped kitchen and good shower. Agnes sends superb information and directions and is able to help out with any local advice needed (e.g. where's the best bagel place)!
Just 1/2 block from the subway with loads of trains, express and local running all the time, and even as two young, white women alone, felt very safe walking around late at night.
Is not near any nightlife/ restaurants like in Chelsea and the meatpacking district, but because of the great subway trains, brilliant price and fantastic service, it doesn't matter at all.
Will definitely be recommending to anyone visiting NYC
