If you want a place that's comfortable, affordable, and super convenient in NYC, this is the place! Patricia communicated well with us, especially about parking our car. We parked in a lot a block away -- parked our car for the week and it was safe and affordable. We used the metro to get around, and the nearest stop was 2 blocks away, with just a 20 minute ride into downtown Manhattan. The apartment is close to small mom-and-pop restaurants and chains. Our family of 4 slept comfortably with a queen bed and pull-out futon couch. The week we were there was so hot -- in the high 90s -- and the air conditioning in the apartment was great. Make sure you bring bath soaps since they don't allow hosts to supply these in the apt.
