Me and my girlfriends just returned from 10 days in NY and finding Evan and Maria's apt was one of the best parts of our trip. The apt is located far enough away from the noise and crowds of the tourist attractions, but close enough to walk to them. There was a grocery store down the street, and many local spots to eat out at. I also discovered a laundry service around the corner that provided same day service. It was inexpensive, and I didn't have to come home with a suitcase full of dirty clothes. Short walking distance to the UN building, Grand Central, Times Square, Empire State Bldg, the theater district, Central Park, and the list goes on and on. The subway station was a few short blocks away, and calling for an uber made for an easy pickup out front. The apt is well furnished-simple and clean, and had everything we needed. Evan and Maria were kind enough to provide a welcome bottle of wine, some chocolates, and coffee, and were available to meet with. Evan gave us some local tips which helped out, and we discovered the best bagel shop because of this. Ess a bagel. We would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend the apt, and Evan and Maria.
