Isabel and her family were wonderful hosts and provided excellent lodging for our family's visit to NYC. The apartment was lovely and very well equipped with all the things we needed for a pleasant stay. Our children, ages 11, 9, 6, and 3 loved finding the basket of toys and books to play with. We all appreciated having a table to sit around for meals, and a full kitchen stocked with plates and cups for everyone. Our first morning when we hadn't managed to get to a store for some breakfast food, we were delighted to find fresh fruit and granola. Isabel had created an extensive guide to restaurants and grocery stores in her neighborhood. We selected a recommended restaurant for some takeout and really enjoyed the dinner. The location was ideal for us, just a short walk to the subway station in the morning and then we were easily able to ride to all the destinations we wanted to visit in NYC (Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Empire State Building, Natural History Museum, etc) Returning in the evening was just as easy. The apartment was furnished perfectly, everything one needed and nothing more, making it really simple for us to pack up our belongings at the end of our stay.
