From my first inquiry, Toni and Lea were prompt and helpful with their replies. I met with Toni only once on my trip but in that meeting he gave me some very useful insider tips. He also regularly checked in via text message to see if my trip was going well.
The apartment is exactly as described and felt like my home for my two week stay, a wonderful feeling after a day's exploring. I've previously stayed in hotels in Manhattan and this apartment is bigger than any hotel I've stayed in. There is ample room for one (or two!) people for a couple of days or something much longer term. The apartment has a thoughtful layout and has plenty of useful storage areas for your luggage. A noticeable feature of the apartment itself is the shower. There is excellent pressure and great continuity of hot water. The shower is better than any hotel I've stayed at because of these two factors.
Everything you need is within easy walking distance to the apartment and getting to downtown Manhattan is also easy with the subway only 10 minutes walk away.
If I ever come back to New York I will stay here again and have already recommended this wonderful apartment to a few friends who are traveling later in the year.
