This is the perfect place for exploring New York from. The apartment is spacious, the beds are very comfortable. There is air conditioning in every room and plenty of space for clothes. We didn’t cook while there but there looked to be everything you’d need. Ruthven was a fantastic host. We arrived late and he was there to let us in to the apartment and show us around. We arrived at the time of the annual block party and my two sons enjoyed relaxing with the family and friends while my husband and I went out to do touristy things. Fantastic hospitality. As there was no one staying directly after us we checked out late as our flight was 10pm. The perfect hosts in every way. The only small negative is that the sofa bed, although a lovely sofa, is not the most comfortable bed. If it was a long stay this may be a problem.
