Karine's place is an excellent spot to visit New York, it is stylish, comfortable and nice space to simply be in.
It may not be in the heart of the city but we definitely found this to be a bonus and a lovely escape from the noise and energy of Manhattan in the evenings and a peaceful place to walk to the subway in the mornings. Furthermore, Karine offers some fantastic recommendations for the area with great restaurants and bars that really rival what can be seen in the city centre.
In addition, Karine was very helpful and responsive to any questions we had, including allowing us to keep our bags in the property for the afternoon after our flight time was expectantly changed.
Probably as the ultimate mark of approval I would definitely consider using this place again the next time I happen to be in the city!
