My cousins and I took a girls weekend to NYC and were excited to stay in an apartment like a local instead of a hotel. Gary's pricing is on point. I scoured hotel and rentals and by far you get the most bang for your buck with this place. Gary is also a phenomenal host. He is quick to respond and tries to be accommodating to any of your requests. The apartment is beautiful and has so much space for a NYC studio with great comfy furnishing. At the end of a long day of roaming around the 4 of us had plenty of space to unwind. We unfortunately visited when NYC decided to have a heat wave but the little window air conditioner kept up great keeping us cool and comfortable. We never saw or heard any of the other tenants in the building nor were there any questionable characters hanging around outside. The only "negative" were all of the stairs. We spent the majority of our days out and about and were quite fried by the time we got back to the building so going up 4 flights of fairly steeps steps was a little bit of a struggle at the end of the day. All in all a wonderful place to stay.
