We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Palacios' flat. We were very comfortable and found everything in working order. The coffee cake, apples and orange juice were a real treat after a long flight from Arizona. We found the flat to be exactly as advertised and will return again in the future. The neighborhood was quiet with a well stocked deli & convenience store just across the street. We rented a car for our stay and never had difficulty finding a place to park a few steps from the door in-spite of some parking places not available due to recent accumulations of snow and ice. The weather turned bitterly cold (for Arizonan's) the last few days of our stay but the flat was always warm and comfortable. We only used the additional space heaters for a few minutes upon on return in the evenings. The TV was a little difficult to work at first and only had cable channels but this was quickly rectified by the Palacios parents. We have rented 2 flats in our travels (Lima, Peru; Athens Greece) and I would not hesitate to recommend this to any of our friends visiting New York City. Thank you Christian and Carla fora wonderful experience.
