We were expecting a very good stay at Mary and Josh's place based on the profile and reviews. Those expectations were exceeded far and away. The apartment in private, immaculate, spacious and made a 10-day stay extremely comfortable. We couldn't imagine experiencing NYC any other way: Attentive and professional hosts; a neighborhood with great character (and DO heed Mary's advice on terrific dining / late night options); and excellent connections to Manhattan and other destinations (two stations located within 10 minutes walking distance from the apartment).

As noted by other reviewers, Mary has some snacks and drinks on standby to get your stay started on the right foot. Beyond that, no detail was overlooked -- from extra towels and linens to toiletries and a well-stocked kitchen.

Great privacy and we were thoroughly impressed by the well-appointed apartment, its comfort and absolute peace and quiet at night and most of the day, for that matter.
