Orestes is wonderful host who makes you feel immediately welcome in his beautiful home.
As the room and bathroom are situated on the lower ground floor you have a lot of privacy. Both room and bathroom are tastefully decorated and emaculate. There is a lovely private garden at the back that makes you almost forget that you are in New York City.
But you are. The apartment is in a good neighbourhood that is up-and-coming trendy. There are nice boutique restaurants as well as a great authentic diner at waking distance. The subway stops around the corner (2 minutes walk) and lines will take you directly to mid-town Manhattan (ony 1 stop), lower Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Or take the ferry (10 minute walk) to Brooklyn or Wall Street and treat yourself to spectacular interrupted views of the New York skyline.
If you are looking to expore NYC from a roomy, clean and tranquil base only 1 subway stop away from the smells and sounds of Manhattan, look no further. I highly recommend a stay with Orestes.
