Me, my wife and our two teenage daughters had an amazing experience at Monica’s place! We stayed there for a week. The apartment was beautifully decorated and very comfortable, plenty of room for the four of us and you have everything you need (Wi-Fi, lots of closet space, super bed, useful kitchen, dining area very comfortable lounge area and beautiful bathroom with a giant tub)
The Neighborhood is absolutely safe. Subway around the corner will bring you downtown Manhattan in 20 minutes. Everything you need is near (delis, grocery stores, restaurants drugstore).
Monica is the best host; she's the nicest most helpful and sweetest person you can meet. We loved staying there and we absolutely recommend this place to everyone who wants to visit NYC. Hope to be back as soon as possible!
