Firstly, Rose was fantastic as a host. Before we even arrived there was a lot of communication not just about the apartment, but about the neighbourhood, things to do, places to go, popular restaurants (all of which were great suggestions). Throughout our stay whenever we had questions she was always very quick to respond with helpful suggestions.

The listing description is very accurate. The apartment is a short walk from basically anywhere - Central Park, Time square, Moma, even Grand Central is only a 25 minute walk. There are all the subway lines you could need only a few blocks away - we mostly used the E\C line to get downtown, but the NQR lines are also very handy and Columbus Circle is close as well. Anywhere you want to go, you can go without any problems. Easy to get to from the airport (JFK) as well - we just took the airtrain than the E line and we were within 5 minutes walk!

The apartment itself was very clean, well organised and comfortable. There was enough room for 2 with luggage, and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom is standard size, and the kitchen was handy for storing drinks\food. The wifi was fast, and Netflix was a great addition. There is a little bit of street noise, but nothing that keeps you up at night. We didn't use the building laundry, but having it there is a bonus.

The neighbourhood is great. Minutes from a lot of nice restaurants, and at no stage did we feel unsafe at all, even walking back late at night.

I highly recommend Rose and her apartment if you are looking for a great place to stay in New York.
