We stayed in April 2014 at this Loft feel apartment in New York. We where with a party of 3, But the apartment could easily hold 4 guest. It was exactly what you see on the pictures. It's a huge apartment with one bedroom, an air bed if needed, and an bed that holds one person. Our 3th guest actually slept on the couch that is huge and really good to sleep on. Everything worked like it should. There was a lot of closet space.
I traveled around the world. Spent months in Asia and traveled a lot in Europe but I never had such a great host as Monica. She lives upstairs and is just a knock on the door away. The first day she walked with us to the nearest supermarket. She called our cabs a couple of times. She explained the subway system and gave us maps. And on top of that she did our laundry. We asked her how the washing machine worked and when we came back from our day walking around in manhattan all our laundry was washed and folded. It was the sweetest thing.
Some practical stuff:
the subway is 2 blocks away ( 4 minute walk )
Going downtown with the subway:
manhattan grand central station is 30 minutes.
Brooklyn bridge around 15 minutes.
Time square around 25 minutes.
Cab from JFK to Monica's house is around 35$
The nearest supermarket is 1 minute away. ( this is a 24 hour supermarket, there is a cheaper and bigger one 5 minutes from Monica's house )
If you want to know what it feels like to live in New York City but want to be away from hectic manhattan you should really take this apartment. It's not only a beautiful apartment but it's also a great location.
Thank you Monica. Ciao
