Kurt’s place is a perfect spot for anyone who wants to be able to escape from the madness of central Manhattan. We were traveling as a family of four including two teenagers. It was great to have a spacious apartment which afforded us all more privacy than a hotel room. All the amenities we required were there, the only exception being a washing machine. This wasn’t a problem as there is a laundromat within 2 minutes walk and although this may sound strange, it was a fun experience for someone who hasn’t used a launderette since university days. The subway was a three minute walk with simple access to central and downtown Manhattan. There is a grocery store next to the subway which we found useful for picking up odd bits that we required. There are tons of take outs in the area and most of them deliver.
The accommodation is unique and in a great position. The area feels safe and far more relaxed than downtown. We had an amazing time. Kurt is on hand should you need assistance but keeps out of your way if you don’t. He is a wealth of knowledge on New York and many other topics and is super easy to chat to. We wouldn’t hesitate to use this accommodation again if we return to New York. Thank you Kurt.
