Scooters place is great! To begin it is a bargain to have so much space and amenities in the City for the price. A kitchen fully stocked with pots, pans and dishes- a relaxing living room, an upstairs outdoor space! Wow! You won’t go wrong staying here. Scooter is a very attentive host and makes sure everything is going ok with your stay. The unit is clean, well furnished and very very comfortable. As far as location- a nice quiet and safe neighborhood, walking distance to several grocery stores, easy access to the subway and citibikes and fully secured with a 24 hr doorman. You may be thinking that Kips Bay is a bit too far from all the happening spots in the City but that isn’t true at all- a quick subway ride and you are on Broadway or the Village or anywhere in between. An Uber will get you there for $3-$4 as well. If you like walking, in 30 mins you can be in the middle of Central Park or jump on a Citibike and get there in less time. And having stayed in Times Square before I can tell you that you will sleep much better at night in the quiet of Kips Bay. Highly recommend! Thanks Scooter!
