Geralds place is the perfect base for a holiday in New York, the décor is just beautiful, the lounge chairs were so comfortable and the apartment had everything we required for our stay. the kitchen was well stocked with crockery and cutlery and the huge fridge/ freezer and stove were amazing. The bed in the bed room was wonderful, so comfy and the sofa bed in the lounge which my son slept on was excellent as well, he's 6'3 so for him to say its comfy was a plus. There were plenty of towels, sheets and blankets for us to use. The laundry in the basement was convenient and plenty of washers and driers to use when we wanted to do the washing. The location and proximity to central park was fantastic, loved that area and its wasn't that far to Times Square. taxis were very easy to find right outside the door. There are a few grocery stores with in a few minutes walk from the apartment if you need any food. The Hop on Hop off bus stopped a short distance from the apartment block which was very convenient for us getting around New York. Everyone we met in the building was so friendly also. I would highly recommend Geralds place to anyone wanting a base in NY so close to Central Park - LOVED IT :-)
