Aracelis is an attentive host who responds quickly. She has remodeled this apartment beautifully and stocked it so you can feel at home! We found that we had everything we needed as a family of 5: full kitchen, washer and dryer, enough comfortable beds with quality linens, air conditioning in each room and a place to relax after a long day of sightseeing. It was a 45 minute subway ride (25 minute car ride) to Lower Manhattan, but NYC is so big that, in my research, finding an affordable place to stay means you will be “too” far from somewhere. It was just fine for us! Located on Broadway means close access to stores (we used Target), restaurants (we recommend Pizza Heights) and that the subway is just a couple of blocks away. However, it also means you may want to bring ear plugs if you are not used to city life. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in NYC - thank you!
