Myles was a fantastic host, he picked us up at the airport despite our flight being nearly an hour late. He even brought us snacks and drinks for the journey to the house. The apartment was beautiful. Ours was the bottom floor of the house. It was two bedrooms with three beds. It was showroom clean and very nicely decorated. I had said in our communications that it was a trip to celebrate my daughter's 21st - as we walked into the second bedroom, he surprised her with a bunch of balloons. It was such a thoughtful gesture...unfortunately though, our luggage allowance didn't let her take them back with us. The apartment had a lounge, the tv was set up with Netflix and other channels although we watched a bit, we had far too many places to go to. The kitchen had everything needed - we didn't use much as we ate out each day. The fridge had some drinks in. The bathroom had an ample amount of towels with shower gels and shampoo. The house is situated about two blocks from the subway station. The subway ran frequently - two lines. We didn't wait too long for trains in either direction. The latest we came back was 11.30 pm after visiting the Rockefeller Centre. The train wasn't empty, we felt quite safe (although obviously you have to be sensible), we walked home without seeing too many people. There was so much to do in New York, we were out every day. There are several shops close by. A large Target (like Asda) store was really good, a 7-11 which was ok and a small supermarket which didn't appeal to us. There are plenty of others but they were the three we used. The house is on a road in a nice area. The houses are cared for and there was hardly any noise at night. Myles offered and gave us a lift to the airport at 7.30 am. Would we use Myles as a host again...without a doubt! He's a really nice guy and super helpful. Although we already had plans and a list of where to go, Myles had plenty of suggestions and we still didn't visit everything I would like to have seen. A few suggestions if you're going out to visit New York City... Check out the American Groupon site - I bought our tickets for Woodbury Common ($25 each) - worth it if you buy brand name stuff. I also got our tickets for One World Centre here - just watch when taking photos as it's only through glass so there's lots of reflections. We also got a CitySightsNY for the Empire State Building and Top of the Rock for $44. It's $36 and $34 to pay for each separately. We visited the ESB during the day and the TOTR at night (because the ESB lights up nicer and it'll be in your photos!). Also look at buying a week pass for the Subway -...
