I am very much so a realist and when things seem to good to be true- that usually means it is. I half expected us to arrive and this turn out to be a bogus apartment because it seemed too good to be true. I went to school in Chicago so I was prepared for the large crowds, the free items that you have to have a donation for, and the aggressive individuals that are out looking for a quick and easy buck. My husband was not prepared at all and he doesn’t do well in large crowds. So it was really nice to be able to walk to time square and when things would get too overwhelming, we could quickly get back to our room. The area is more neighborly and feels safe. Michael has seriously thought of everything you could possibly need & he is super thoughtful. Highly recommend.
