Julia and Chris’ apartment is a real find. It’s spacious, gorgeous and spotlessly clean. It’s in a great location, highly recommended if you want to experience the real New York as well as the tourist traps. It’s a short walk from two separate subway stations at 125th Street, both go downtown to all the major sights quickly and cheaply. There are also plenty of shops within a few blocks – takeaways and restaurants, a supermarket, pharmacy – everything you might need. It’s close to Sylvia’s famous soul food restaurant, but try Jacob’s as well across the road from there – it’s great too, and much cheaper.

We’re a family with two children aged 10 and 7, the apartment was perfect – more than big enough - and the neighbourhood was fine, we always felt safe.

Julia and Chris provide all the information you might need and are always on hand via phone or text if you need anything. We’d 100% recommend this apartment. New York is an amazing place to visit and the apartment provides a real home from home at much better value than a hotel room. We can’t wait to return!
