As a first time NYC traveler, here is my review:
Pros:
- location is great, lots of places to eat, explore within walking distance
- felt safe !!
- spacious & comfortable
- A/C was a huge plus
- David is very responsive
- floor length mirrors
- comfy bed
- coffee shop literally downstairs which is amazing
- water and ice machine in fridge
- plenty of outlets for phone charging
Considerations:
- lively area & loud at night when you’re trying to sleep but also it’s NYC so what do I expect haha
- limited towels so bring your own washcloth for face cleansing etc.
- about 20-30 mins from major attractions like Statue of Liberty, Central Park etc.
- take your taxi or Uber from the airport straight to the restaurant where you pick up keys, then walk a few blocks to the place. Not a bad walk. $40 taxi from la guardia (pretty standard)
- the key is a traditional key, kinda small so I I had to be very vigilant not to lose it!! Plan on that.
- up 2 flights of stairs no elevator FYI
- tv doesn’t have cable or anything
- feels like you’re staying at a guy friends apartment, very stylized and feels like his personal house where he lives
