Monica's apartment is too good to be true! The pictures do not do the space justice - we were blown away by the cleanliness, comfort, and hospitality provided by Monica.
The area is perfect, close enough to everything but just outside of the craziness of Times Square, plus it's nearly silent being that the apartment is in the back of the building. Public transit is a block away, amazing restaurants in every direction within 5-10 minutes walking distance, an unbelievably cheap florist on the corner, and a great grocery store a block away.
The apartment itself was amazing!! Again, the cleanliness made us immediately comfortable and we were so thankful we went with the apartment over a hotel. The living room is comfy with a great air conditioner, the kitchen is well stocked, the bathroom and shower were spotless, and the bed was SOOO comfy. Monica definitely goes the extra mile by providing soaps, shampoos, lotion, toothbrush, iron, lint roller, etc... you can tell she doesn't take hosting lightly. We even had fresh New York bagels and cream cheese waiting for us when we arrived!
New York was truly amazing, but we will always remember staying at Monica's as one of the highlights.
