We had a great time in New York City for the pre Christmas time. Laura and her house manager Rachel did a really good job. All the time super friendly and helpful.
The apartment is located between the sight seeing spots of Time square, Central park and ferry for the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge with two subway stations close by. Most of the time we explored the city be feet. The neighborhood with the little restaurants and sweet old fashioned houses is nice for a walk.
Its a bit loud, also at night. The windows are old and closes not very well. So be prepared. The apartment is not very big but for two people and a short stay totally enough. You have also a good equipped kitchen if you prefer to cook by your self or to have breakfast at home as we did. sometimes is better for a good start into the day ;) New York is one of the priciest cities in the world. The rents are expensive. Keep this in mind. Hope the feedback is helpful and you will have a great stay in NYC.
