Our stay at Silene's apartment was amazing! It was just what we were looking for, and more. As soon as we came through the door, we felt welcome. We had great conversations with Silene both in the mornings, and in the evenings when we came back from exploring NYC. Thanks to Silene and her suggestions of what the city has to offer we had new adventures every day, which was very helpful for first timers in NYC like us.
The apartment itself is spacious and clean with a great view from the terrace. The terrace is the perfect spot for your morning coffee or to enjoy the sunset as the light reflects from the surrounding buildings. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, but you do not have to walk far to get to more lively places like Time Square. Just outside of the main entrance to the building you have a Citi Bike station as a great alternative to walking. We used the bikes to get to Central Park and back.
When time comes for my next visit to the Big Apple, I will definitely check Silene's availability. Recommend 10/10.
