Emily's apartment near Columbus Circle was perfect for our family stay (3 nights). The bedrooms were quiet and comfortable. Everything was cozy and clean. Laundry in the unit was a nice bonus. We were met at check-in and shown the apartment, getting the 411 on keys, recycling/garbage, etc. Sushi restaurant practically next door is very good and you can't beat having Whole Foods across the street. The wine shop around the corner (on Columbus Circle) is very good. We'd recommend this place for people who are looking to enjoy the best of New York with the convenience of having an apartment. It's by no means luxurious but it was safe, quiet, clean, comfortable and offered everything we needed.
