This was my first time to NYC, and Al's apartment was ideal for us. Al has the place in excellent condition, and his communication with us was wonderful. He also went above and beyond my expectations by helping us bring our luggage up to the apartment. I have nothing but kind words.

As for the neighborhood, Washington Heights is a wonderfully gentrified location. We felt completely safe walking around at night, and met nothing but friendly people. There are several small markets, next door and across the street, that served our needs perfectly. In addition there were many excellent restaurants within less than a blocks' walk. The subway stop across the street was our (extremely) efficient way to get downtown.

When planning our trip, it was my goal to try and find a place that made me feel at home, as though I was a resident. I can definitely say that I didn't just visit NYC, I lived here for four days!
