We had a truly great stay in NYC, thanks to both Robert and John. Their attentiveness was extraordinary and they are truly committed to make their guests feel at home. The apartment is beautiful (the pictures don't lie!) and has its own entrance, so privacy is guaranteed. The neighborhood is very safe, by day and at night. The hostmanship of Robert and John is the icing on the cake (speaking of which: John even helped us buy our daughter a cake for her birthday and showed us the sights of Bay Ridge!). We would recommend everyone looking for a high quality, safe and friendly stay in NYC to book this apartment.
