I stayed in the apartment for 2 months while I was on a secondment to New York. I thoroughly enjoyed staying in Jeff's apartment, he is a fantastic host very friendly on arrival and very helpful if you need anything during your stay. The apartment is a very good size, all the rooms are very spacious and the aircon was fantastic when it was hot at the end of summer.
The location is excellent, it is very close (5 mins walk) to the subway and that line is very convenient for getting to both Downtown Manhattan and Midtown. It takes approximately 25 minutes to get to Downtown Manhattan and maybe 40 minutes to get to Midtown Manhattan. You can obviously stay closer but you will definitely be paying for it!
Value for money this apartment is excellent, it is spacious, convenient and it has fantastic amenities. Plus Jeff is an excellent host.
Would highly recommend staying here and I would stay here again if I am back in New York.
