I cannot rate Waldy and this accommodation highly enough. The apartment was spacious with fantastic facilities for cooking, cleaning and laundry. The room was huge, with an old fashioned, rustic charm. There was so much storage space aswell as a TV with cable access (not forgetting the ENORMOUS cinema style screen available in the modern and sleek living area). A real home away from home. Waldy was the perfect host, responding almost instantly to any query, hugely accomodating and also caring; as a solo female traveller it was very reassuring to receive an occasional message from him making sure everything was ok (as he was not staying in the apartment. The other room was occupied by a friendly post grad who was always up for a chat!) The apartment is extremely well-located; literally 50 footsteps to the nearest subway entrance where the A train quickly takes you right to the centre of Manhattan in approx 20 minutes. Inwood is also a lovely area with a bustling energy and atmosphere. After 2 weeks I will definitely look to stay here again during my next trip to NYC!
