We stayed in Halles place for 9 nights during our family (of 3) holiday to NYC. Halles comms were fast & helpful right from the start. Access was super easy. Location was amazing - quiet street, with lots of subway access within a 10 min walk (we mostly used the B & Q from Church Ave) - we loved the residential feel of our commute each day, and felt safe returning late at night. The basement apartment is beautifully decorated, spacious (plenty of room for cases & clothes), very comfortable (beds sent us straight to sleep each night), and had everything we needed and more. We made good used of the fridge, kettle, and coffee machine for drinks & snacks - and the dining area was great. We are locally at Street Boi (1 min away, hawker style) & has a few pizzas from Rocky's across the street (local celebrities, super friendly). We prefer the community, rather than the impersonal hotel, experience when we holiday and Halles place offered us this - we enjoyed 'coming home' after our NYC sightseeing every day. We would highly recommend staying here, both for the amazing apartment and for Halle as the perfect host.
