We have been in NYC for 10 days between April and May. Our experience has been wonderful. The apartment was even better than what we expected: it is bright, nice, and very clean. Bed and mattress were brand new. The kitchen is completely equipped with everything (pans, pots, etc) and in the basement there is a laundry to wash and dry clothes. The street is quiet and the neighborood very safe, with plenty of stores, restaurants, shops. The subway (it'a an express-train stop) is within walking distance (5 minutes), making it very easy to go anywhere in the city.
Larah and her husband are really nice and helpful. We travelled with a baby (18 months old) and they provided a pack 'n play and lot of toys for him (they have a baby of the same age) and they gave us advice and tips to enjoy the city with him.
We definitely enjoyed this place and we totally recommend it, thank you Larah and Rocco!! If we come back to NYC we will stay here again.
