We stayed for 5 nights in October, myself and my 19 year old daughter. It was my first time of using Air bnb and i was quite apprehensive as to what to expect. I need not have worried, the whole experience was wonderful. The apartment was lovely and the added touch of milk,bread,eggs,fruit and coffee was much appreciated. Mirela was a wonderful host and was so helpful especially when i lost my mobile phone. The subway is within easy reach and will take approx 60 mins to reach brooklyn bridge, that will be the furthest you will need to travel into Manhatten, it will take approx 40 mins to reach Times square and Broadway. Central park is even less time. The subway is extremely safe and as 2 women travelling we were never worried. The whole area was full of real New Yorkers and no tourists in sight ( except for us! ). There are lots of restaurants and shops nearby. I would definately stay here again and would thoroughly recommend this apartment to anyone coming to New York. Thanks Mirela and Daniel, we had a fabulous time.
