If you don't stay with Irene and her husband you're really missing out on a great experience. They are by far the most gracious hosts I have ever seen, and they were so helpful with helping us get around the big city of NY. The apartment is VERY clean, we had our own bathroom, the subway is barely a 5 minute walk from the apartment, Central Park is an 8 minute walk, and most importantly they will give the shirt off their own back for you. When we got there a day before New Year's Eve there wasn't parking close to the apartment, so Irene's husband put his coat on and told us he'll give us his parking spot (which could be seen through our window) so we could have good FREE parking. Then, as we were leaving they were cleaning the streets people were double parking. We get out to pack the car up and they had been waiting for 30 minutes in their car parked next to our car so that we could get out. 100% staying with these amazing people next time I go to NY!!!
