Roberson is a great host. He is easily reachable and responds quickly. I first was surprised by how conveniently located the apartment building was and how easily accessible it was from public transportation. When I arrived, Roberson was well prepared and had all of the living essentials organized. He provided me with a brief tour of the apartment and had several recommendations for neighborhood shopping centers, restaurants, and cafes. The apartment is beautiful in many ways. The kitchen is open to the living area which has a huge window and lets in great natural light/ street views. There is a great big kitchen island, great for both eating and laptop use. The sofa was incredible comfortable and the TV was enjoyable for relaxing after a day of touring NYC. The bedroom has a full size closet and table area for organizing and reading. The bed was big and for me was very comfortable. Everything was very clean including the bathroom, which had a nice size tub and shower. An added bonus was the espresso machine and high speed WiFi, which was great for planning and researching my day. The kitchen was fully equipped and ready for any and all cooking. Overall the apartment was very enjoyable and comforting. Also, the rooftop has an incredible 360 view of NYC with seating and tables, great for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
The building is located directly near the L metro station which quickly takes you into Manhattan. Minutes away are the G metro station which takes you to lower Brooklyn, lower Manhattan and up to Queens. Also near are city bikes which are available for rental and great for when site-seeing. The neighborhood is filled with markets, shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. There are many eclectic shops and unique streets, such as Bedford Avenue which is two blocks away. The neighborhood in and of itself has many historic and beautiful sites to see.
I would recommend this apartment for anyone who is traveling to New York and interested in the local seen and environment. It’s great for anyone interested in seeing all parts of NYC, whether it’s business, travel or leisure. My stay there was excellent and added to my experience and travel in NYC.
