I booked Simone's place for my short one week holiday in New York and I think I made a great choice. First of all Simone is a great communicator. Every email that I sent to Simone before my arrival was responded to within a few hours. So, the communication was very effective and prompt.
The check in was quick and hassle free. The size of the room is more than adequate and it gets a lot of sunlight from the window. I found everything clean and orderly. I especially enjoyed the shower. The water pressure and temperature was always perfect. Believe me, on a holiday you definitely want a good shower!
The subway is close (about 7 or 8 mins walking). Yes, you are not in the city center but downtown is only a few stops away by the subway! Overall, I had a great stay and would recommend this place entirely.
