This was an excellent location and a great price for a NYC visit. Elisabeth and her family were great hosts (her sister lives in the building), and very responsive when something was needed. They helped us bring our luggage upstairs, and when we ran out of toilet paper I called and left a message and there was a bag of it on the doorknob very quickly. The apartment is in a great location, one block from the #1 train which takes you to Times Square in about 15 minutes. It was surprisingly quiet as the apartment abuts an inner courtyard space. The neighborhood outside is not upscale, and the building itself either, but is very safe, and there are grocery stores, convenience stores and restaurants nearby. The inside of the apartment is comfortable, very well maintained and clean with a full size kitchen and gas stove, and has Wifi. There is a separate room with doors off the living room where you can have a blow up mattress which my brother used, providing some privacy. I would definitely stay again!
