Our stay at Sam and Mala’s apartment was nothing short of hospitable and great. The apartment was the definition of a home away from home with its nice amenities, cute and homey decoration, and warm, clean sheets. Our hosts were also very responsive, which is a big plus. However, if you intend to visit Manhattan, you should do expect a transit of an hour plus. My boyfriend and I were aware of the long transit prior to our arrival so we planned ahead of time. The neighborhood was also very safe, quiet, and nice to look at with all the Christmas lights during our walks to and from the bus/subway station. My only minor complaint of our stay was that the heater made a lot of noise at night that would often wake me up. Other than that, our stay was wonderful, and I would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Sam and Mala. :)
