My family and I really enjoyed our long weekend at Ahmed first floor walk-up just north of the UN. We were there to celebrate a birthday and see the sights and our lodging made that easy and did not disappoint. Quite frankly, its location is its major asset. You are in the middle over everything with dozens of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, markets, etc. within 5 - 10 min walk. You are 15 min from Rockefeller Center and 20 from Central Park. It is also convenient to the subway. The location cannot be beat. Ahmed was highly communicative whenever we had questions prior to the trip, when we arrived, and throughout our time there. His place is as advertised. This is a spacious one-bedroom apartment with a good kitchen and large bathroom. It's an older, classic NYC rowhouse-style building with radiator heating and a great little patio/courtyard just for you (through an open window!!). If you want a polished, high-end hotel experience in Manhattan, I don't think Ahmed's place is your match. But if you want to experience the city as those who reside within, I do not think you'll be disappointed. You can't beat this apartment for the location, ambience, or price.
