We loved the apartment and the adored the location in Long Island City for our trip to NYC. I would recommend this location over staying in Manhattan proper. Our family of six loved the super quick and easy commute in and out of the city, and appreciated coming back to a charming low key neighborhood after a busy day of site seeing. The beautifully renovated and sparkling clean unit suited our group of 6 perfectly. There are many fun and affordable restaurants and a little grocery within two blocks. The waterfront park just a couple blocks away was a great place to end each day. Steve is a wonderful host and very communicative and helpful. I would definitely recommend.
