We had an absolutely perfect, 5-star stay at this apartment! Where to start — The location is super convenient and ground floor unit means no trekking up many flights of stairs (but still very secure as you go through a couple gates before getting to the front door). Everything inside is brand new (not always the case in NYC), spotless, and high quality. The owners were clearly very thoughtful in furnishing the place and didn’t skimp on the appliances: Toto toilet, Nest AC, Yale keyless locks, etc. The apartment is super spacious and our group of 3 had tons of room to spread out. The host and his family live in the upstairs unit so are just a few steps away if anything is needed; but other than the occasional footsteps through the ceiling you don’t really hear them and you have privacy.
What made our stay extra special was our very attentive and considerate host, Richard. From the minute we walked in and spotted the spread of welcome snacks/drinks, coffee pods, toiletries, and even a stocked pantry with things like instant noodles, we knew we were in good hands. He provides lots of detailed instructions but is also very easygoing and accommodating. Richard goes the extra mile by providing umbrellas, hotel-quality towels, late checkout when available, and even offering a place to store our bags after checkout. If all that wasn’t enough to convince you, I give you 3 more words… Charmin Ultra Soft ;) The price is super reasonable for a really excellent home, and I definitely hope to stay here again!
