Peter and his family were great hosts! Upon arrival we had a sweet welcome message with treats and even some milk, juice and goodies to get us started.

The apartment was exactly as described and even exceeded our expectations. Even though a basement apartment, it did not feel that way at all. The space was beautiful, spacious, comfortable and immaculate. They supplied everything you could need for your stay-fully stocked kitchen, linens, every bath essential-more than any hotel. The beds were very comfortable. The shower had great water pressure and the A/C units cooled the place in minutes when we arrived back from our long day of exploring the city.

The street is quiet and you are a short 10 min walk from the subway. We used the Ralph Av /Fulton St station for the C train the most and it was very convenient to get to anywhere in Manhattan. You can also catch the A-C train from the Utica Av/Fulton St station not far down from Ralph Av. Halsey St or Gates Av stations will get you on the J or Z trains to and from JFK. We arrived back after dark every night and never felt unsafe walking back to the apartment.

Because we stayed during a busy holiday weekend, we were both out and about most of the time. We didn't get the chance to connect with Peter and his family personally but easily communicated by texting when needed. We received detailed instructions of everything so we had no issues getting into the apartment or finding anything we needed during our stay. We knew if we needed anything, Peter was just a phone call away.

We were on the go every day that we didn't hang out much in the surrounding area but did get a chance to stop in the Healthway (organic grocery and deli with yummy sandwiches) and The Wilky (bar with beer selections and good food) on our arrival and departure days. There are some 24hr convenient stores down the street for late night beverages and snacks as well that we stopped in on our way back.

This was our first visit to NYC, stayed 5 nights and literally powered through 14 hour days of adventure. It was nice to come back to a quiet and comfortable place to rest.

We definitely recommend Peter's place to future travelers and hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
