Much better than a hotel - Edmund was an awesome host. At arrival he welcomed us with some drinks and proposed us plenty of restaurants in the area. The apartment was very clean, some beverages were in the fridge when we arrived (bottle of wine, sodas, water ...), also coffee/tea, and fruits. The apartment is very spacious, air conditioner in all rooms. The beds are very comfortable. There is a fast internet connection and a huge TV screen. The bathroom is very large too.
The metro is 15 min walk from the apartment. Manhattan is very easy to reach as the metro line is directly going there. We stayed 5 nights and everything was perfect. Edmund was always ready to help us for any requests. I recommend this apartment to anyone who wants to come to NY.
