This place is FANTASTIC. We've stayed in many, many places all over the world and this is definitely one of our favorites. Here's a list of the things that made it great:
LOCATION - close to two subway lines, near SOHO commercial district and Greenwich Village (try Joe's Pizza and Pasticceria Rocco - get the tiramisu...you won't be sorry), the beautiful Hudson River Greenway, Trader Joe's and a super quick drive to the Newark airport!
QUIET - it's so close to everything and still very quiet even in the living room that faces the street.
COMFY - the apartment is actually pretty good size (the photos don't do it justice). We're a family of three and had PLENTY of room. The kitchen is stocked with every kitchen gadget you could possibly need. The pullout couch in the living room is so comfy we actually slept on it and gave our daughter the bed in the bedroom so she could sleep in and we could drink our coffee without waking her! Oh and I have to mention the GIGANTIC super thick bath towels. We don't even have towels like that at our house!
COMMUNICATION - Timur is great at responding to questions in a timely manner and the check-in and check-out process was so easy.
Our whole family gives it 5 stars and were sad to say goodbye. We were having so much fun "living like a local" in a New York apartment.
