We are very pleased with our stay in Carols apartment. She had left us several bottles of water and we where free to use all the facilities. The only thing that was a little bit strange was that we booked for four people but there were only beds for three. One of us had to sleep on the couch, not so fun. The apartment is very close to almost everything to see in Manhattan, very nice. It was very easy to pick up keys in a 7/11 near by. We can recommend Carol as your host if you are 2-3 people traveling together.
