Raquel’s apartment serviced our needs for our 5 week stay in New York. We met Raquel on check in and was made feel welcome straight away. Check out was a locked box. Local supermarkets, shops and restaurants within a 10 minute walk as was the train into Manhattan. The neighbourhood was extremely quiet and we always felt safe. A 35 minute ride to time square on the train. Nice kitchen for cooking and eating in. The addition of a sofa bed made for a comfortable stay. I would certainly recommend this apartment as a base for visiting New York.
