Michelle and Vinicio's apartment was lovely, very clean, and while not of course huge (being a one bed in Manhattan!), was plenty big enough for two for the week, with ample space for clothes etc. As it was very warm while we were in NYC, the ceiling fans were a bonus (not commonplace in the UK!) There were also plenty of towels, and little things like washing up liquid, sponges and cooking oil, which were appreciated, and the WiFi was good.

It was in a great position, very close to Penn Station (appreciated greatly for getting around on the Subway) but situated on a quiet street. It was in a nice building, which felt very safe and secure, with a nice café and a few shops just down on 9th.

There were plenty of appliances in the apartment, so we could stay in if we wanted to of an evening, or have breakfast at the apartment if we didn't feel like going out.

They were considerate hosts, with Michelle even meeting us in London a few days prior to exchange keys as we were landing very late, and were flexible about leaving times, and leaving the bag in the apartment in the morning.
