Lovely decorated, fully equipped and very clean and modern apartment. We felt very much at home. Subway stations are in easy reach, Central Park is only a couple of footsteps away. Sleeping 5, however, might be a bit ambitious... there are two bedrooms - one with a double bed, the other one with a single bed. An air bed is provided and there is a sofa, but it cannot be converted into a bed. So yes, 5 people will find a place to sleep, but if you like a little comfort, I would suggest that 3 are enough.
The place feels very safe, the neighborhood is friendly. Small grocery shops are also close by. Subway stations within easy reach. 10 minutes ride to midtown.
Unfortunately Sam was working abroad when we came to stay so we missed the change to meet him in person, but still communication was never a problem, everything went smooth and Sam was very generous when it came to leaving the luggage for a couple of extra hours after check out time. So thumbs up 👍🏻 and special thanks to Sam for having made out trip to New York even a little more special than it was anyway 😊 🙋🏼
