I was coming to NYC with my daughter for her 18th birthday. Our arrival was delayed due to Aer Lingus ‘operational difficulties’ and when we touched down in Newark we had no luggage either. Esme has been utterly superb at contacting us throughout and the apartment is soooo convenient for the subway, making regular trips downtown very handy. The apartment is a little sparse and whilst we really appreciated the toothbrushes (as our luggage was lost), a pint of milk in the fridge would have been an awesome addition as we arrived late. We enjoyed staying in Harlem and this apartment makes an affordable base for visiting the rest of NYC. Thank you, Esme, and happy holidays 🎄
