Melanie is simply fantastic! And her apartment is such a great place to stay while visiting NYC! The apartment is just like the pictures and is very spacious. Plus the fire escape is the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine. I would highly recommend staying with Melanie. The apartment is always clean and welcoming. She makes sure to help you around the city and has great recommendations as where to go and what to avoid. The location is great as well, quiet for NY and plenty of subway stations close by. If I ever travel back to NY I would definitely stay with Melanie.
