My family and I (there were four of us) had a great week-long stay in James & Shannon’s place. It’s a small unit but we expected that (it’s NY!) so we weren’t disappointed. The pictures accurately depict what you can expect. While it sleeps six, I think it’d be difficult to have six people in the main living/dining area at one time. That said, if you’re spending most of your time out and about, or if you’re a close bunch, it works just fine.
The location is about a five minute walk to the subway so it was easy to get around (15 mins to Midtown) There are also plenty of great places to eat directly in the neighborhood. We both walked the neighborhood and rode the subway multiple times and never felt unsafe.
If you’re planning to cook in the unit, just know that there are very basic cooking provisions (cookware/cooking utensils) and there was no seasoning, oil, etc. Most people don’t come to NY and cook - plus there’s limited storage space - so I understand this. I just thought this mention might be helpful to someone else so they know what they should plan to pick up. I did ask if it was possible to be provided a blender and the hosts had one shipped to the unit - which I really appreciated!
The hosts are great communicators and checked in on us more than once.
All and all, I would recommend the unit and would happily stay here again! 😊
