Check in is very easy and gives the door staff a chance to get to know you. The condo is beautiful. It is comfortably furnished and a good size. The beds are very comfy and the kitchen is is easy to cook in. Best of all, Ken was very responsive to my questions. The neighborhood is the best of NY- lots of restaurants of every kind and plenty of places to get the things you need for a nice stay. I definitely recommend a stay here and I hope to be back myself on my next trip.
