This is SUCH a great place to stay in the heart of Manhattan! Nearby to a bunch of midtown shopping and attractions. Whole Foods down the street, along with Little Italy (great late-night pizza joint) and Ess-a-bagel (AMAZING start to a morning). Several useful subway lines are also a few minutes walk away – We had no trouble getting to Uptown, Downtown, East side, West Side, and even Flushing.
The listing is near the top floor, so it feels premium and gets good light. The view consists of nearby buildings that are across the street or further, so no looking directly into a brick wall, which can happen in NYC. It's also well decorated and felt very chic and homey!
Be aware that the photos (at least at the time we booked) make the listing seem bigger than it is. But it's by no means small and felt plenty big for a 1br for 2 people. Kitchen is tiny which took some getting used to, but please experience the New York food scene instead of cooking!
Anita is a great host and communicated well. Loved having her welcome us to the city.
