First of all my boyfriend and I would like to thank Matthew and cohosts for the amazing stay at their apartment! We had a wonderful time and will defenitely come back in the future! Matthews apartment may be a little far from Manhatten centre, but there's a very close-by Metro station (2 min walk from the apartment) that takes you in about 40 minutes to Manhatten. The neighbourhood can sometimes be noisy at night, but this was not at all a problem for us. The apartment itself is very cosy but we do have some recommendations:
- There's a kitchen, which comes in very handy when you don't want to pay restaurant/fastfood every evening, but there are still some important ustensils missing such as a big pot for cooking pasta, for example. In other words, cooking in the apartment can sometimes be tricky... (but not impossible!)
- There is no (high) table nor chairs in the apartment, so we had to eat our breakfast and homemade dinner on the couch... Putting the pots and pans on the little table and eating with our plates in our laps was not always simple. (Yet again, we are two young people so this was not an issue for us!)
- There is no lamp in the sleeping room besides 2 little besides lamps. When arriving home at night, it could sometimes be very dark in the sleeping room.
- The shower was not always easy to use because we didn't quite understand how to get the water hotter/colder, but once the water had the right temperature we really could enjoy the shower/bath!
Besides these "remarks", the apartment is just perfect for two! Very charming and corresponding to the pictures! Matthew and his cohosts were also very quick to answer when we had questions and had even a folder with guidelines available!!
Thank you for making our trip even better and we will DEFINITELY come back at Matthews place!
