Madison's apartment is the perfect place to stay while exploring NYC. My boyfriend and I were here for 5 days in May 2013. Actually, it was the cleanest and best equipped AirBnB we ever stayed at. Madison welcomed us warmly in her house (she lives upstairs with her family) and had some tips and info for us as we were visiting NYC for the first time. I loved the fresh sunflowers in the apartment, thanks so much! We totally enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to couples or friends visiting NYC.
Although the apartment is not located in Manhattan you can easily access Downtown with the J train. We recommend to buy an unlimited fare MetroCard - it's worth it! (Available for 7 or 30 days..)
