This was an excellent experience. The hosts (Audrey and the others) were very professional--welcoming and inviting but not overbearing. They provided us with everything shown on the listing and gave us tips about how to get around, where to eat, and anything else we asked them about.

The apartment was very nice. We were given a small bedroom and our own bathroom to use. What really made it was the location--unbeatable! We were right in the middle of Manhattan, just a few blocks from Times Square. Easy to get around via the subway/buses (we bought a 7-day Metro card, which quickly paid for itself). Close to incredible food and anything else you could need. In spite of the central location, the apartment is far enough back from the street that most/all of the street noise is eliminated. This place is perfectly located, especially for the price.

If you decide to drive to New York (as we did), do NOT try to drive into Manhattan. We left our car just across the river at a parking garage for ~$12/day (a fraction of what you'd pay in Manhattan) and then caught a ferry across the Hudson (see nywaterway.com for more info -- "Port Imperial/Weehawken" terminal). Saved us a ton of money and stress.

Overall no complaints, just a whole lot of great things to say about this place! I highly recommend it to anyone considering a trip to NYC. It's the perfect home base from which you can explore the city and all it has to offer.
