I took a long weekend trip to New York City too relax and enjoy the city. I selected this apartment because the location looked excellent and it did not disappoint. You really cannot beat where the apartment is located. There are tons of restaurants and bars right around the corner and you are very close to the subway which takes you straight down to the touristy areas of town. The apartment does take some maintaining as you are asked to care for the fish and the cat. The fish was fine of course but to say the least, Lily the cat is not my biggest fan. She was very hostile toward me from the moment Lara left and got more aggressive as time went by. Lara had to come and pick her up because she hated us so much, it was a bit alarming. I would not recommend staying here if you are not an animal person. The apartment was a bit dirty (not messy) as well. But other than those two things I think it was a great find and I had a great time. 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.
