We were very lucky to have stayed in Karen's apartment on the upper east side of Manhattan. First of all, the location was great, central park and the metropolitan museum guggenheim were are short walk away. There were at least 5 grocery stores within 2 blocks of this apartment and hundreds of restaurants all near by. The subway station was less than 3 minutes away and takes us right to midtown and downtown near ground zero. The apartment itself was well equipped for a self catering vacation. The kitchen was new and easy to use and the apartment had very good a/c. The rooms were bright and clean and the host provided plenty of paper towels for us to use. I am bringing back my inlaws to NY around christmas time and we will definitely want to stay here again. Thank you Karen and Nick!
