We stayed in this apartment for over 6 months and absolutely loved it. The location is unbeatable, just a few blocks away from multiple coffee shops, restaurants, bars, parks, grocery stores (including Whole Foods) and multiple subway lines. The surrounding area is very lively and active, but the block this apartment sits on is quiet and peaceful, which provides a nice balance in a hectic city. The apartment itself is spacious, comfortable, clean and looks just as pictured. Wifi and water pressure are consistently strong, and having an in-unit washer/dryer was a huge benefit. Diane and Craig are fanstastic hosts. Always very kind and responsive, while also respecting our space and privacy throughout our stay. It didn't take long for the apartment to feel like home for us and it will be our top pick for all future stays in Manhattan. If you're looking for a great home base for your time in NYC, look no further -- this place is a gem.
