My wife and I and my 18 year old son and his girlfriend stayed in Bertus's well appointed and well-sized, spacious appartment. Everything worked well. The area and the appartment were nice and quiet, safe and secure. Location was really good with just a 5 minute walk to the nearest bus stop and an 8 minute bus ride to the nearest subway and then about 50 minutes to Manhatten. Perfect to visit all the tourist locations of New York The listing detail was accurate and communication with Bertus - who lives in the same house on the floor above - was good, easy and timely. In fact, as a host, Bertus could not have been more kind or helpful - from giving us travel tips, having a spare set of keys cut for us to allowing us to store our luggage on our last day. The best recommendation that I can give is to answer the following question: Would I stay here again? Yes. Would I recommend to family and friends? Yes.
