First time in New York (8 nights) and first time at Kalina’s.
The positives (might be niggling details but meant a lot to me) :
- Easy self check in and flexible check out.
- Kalina’s responsiveness.
- Value for money.
- Cleanliness and beautiful bathroom.
- Comfortable bed indeed, we slept like babies.
- Traveling by ferry to go to Manhattan which is far way better than the subway during summer time.
- Cosy comforts : yummy granola bars, italian coffee, french vanillas (OMG the french vanillas... the best !!!) the quakers, beers, juices, shampoo, airconditionner, body lotion...)
- The basement studio gives a cool freshness even when it’s 32 degrees outside.
Personnally, I would not say that there wasn’t a proper kitchen facility because the essentials were there. I just missed not having a kitchen sink around the kitchen space.
Must see/do attractions not far from Kalina’s place (30-40 mins approximately) :
- Coney Island- Fireworks every friday night pm on the beach - Grab a hotdog and a rosé cider at Nathan’s.
- 9/11 memorial.
- Twin Towers.
- One world observatory - Breathtaking view.
- Brooklyn bridge.
- Highline - enjoy a cookie ice-cream over there.
- Chelsea market - Food lovers, please do not miss this place.
- Helicopter tour.
