We enjoyed staying in this apartment. It is in a convenient location to restaurants and the subway, 24hr convenience stores & laundromats. The 7 day metro card worked well for us & most of the main attractions in NY are less than 20 minutes away in all directions. Neil was very helpful with giving us directions, settling us in and making sure our needs were met. Neil & Katie also surprised us with some yummy cakes from their favourite cake shop which was unexpected but delicious! There is a jazz bar behind this building so there is some music noise at night but if you are out late each night like we were, it won't affect you too much. It is quiet in the bedrooms in the morning so we did lots of sleeping in! We are a family of 5. The 3 kids slept in one bed together but there is also a lounge wide enough for sleeping and an air mattress available. The beds were very comfortable. They provided all consumables, towels and quality furniture. It is a colourful neighbourhood but we always felt safe. The closest pizza parlour sells lasagne pizza, you should try it! It is a small and narrow apartment in an older building but this adds to its genuine NY character and being on the ground floor sure beats some of the 4 storey walk ups that are on offer in other listings. The accommodation was typical for NY. We had a couple of minor issues but Neil dealt with them promptly and we were very happy with his responsiveness both before we arrived and while we were there. Would happily stay again.
