Ahmed was very welcoming and took the time to make sure we had everything we needed. He was not in town when we arrived, but called and gave us a tour of the place over the phone. He was easy to reach through text and phone and was eager to help us with any questions/problems we had.

The apartment itself is in a quiet area and is a good place to come back to after a long day of exploring the city. It's just a couple of blocks away from the subway and bus lines making getting around fairly easy. Many major tourist spots are walking distance away as well if you want to explore the city on foot. In a 20-30 min walking radius there is the United Nations building, Times Square, Grand Central Station and Central Park just to name a few. The neighborhood is also home to many great spots to eat (bagels, brunch, ramen, etc) and drug stores if you forgot to bring something.

I would not hesitate to stay here again on my next trip to Manhattan.
