K.'s place was a perfect spot for our visit to New York City. The apartment was sparkly clean, very homey, and had all the amenities we needed (washer, dryer, iron was a plus!). It was easy to feel at home in this neat space and it was a welcomed retreat at the end of a long day. This place is bright and airy, on the third level, and we felt very secure there. It was also a quiet neighbourhood to get a good sleep at night. There was a small convenience store right next door and a large Super Foodtown grocery store about a 15 minute walk away. On days that we did not make our own breakfast, Manny's and Peaches were delicious breakfast/brunch spots that were within a few blocks.
We arrived to tour Manhattan and this place was more than we asked for. We wanted a decently priced, nice place that had easy access to Manhattan and the Times Square area. K.'s place is only a 5 minute walk to the Utica Station subway, where we could jump on the A train, giving us access or connection to anywhere that we wanted to go to in lower/central Manhattan in around 30 minutes. From there, you can take a simple connection to Central Park, Ground Zero, Yankee Stadium, etc.
K. was very helpful and quick to respond if we had questions. We only had 5 days in New York City and still have so much more to see and experience. When we come back, we will definitely stay here again!!
