This trip exceeded our expectations as first time visitors to NYC. Tim and Zania (sp) were excellent hosts, very responsive and communicative. The instructions were clear as day but the special thrill was reserved for the apartment. It was more than spacious for four adults with judicious use of the single shower! Great, comfortable beds and almost all home amenities. We used the laundry across the street so no big deal. 5 minute walk to Atlantic Ave subway and the gateway to the city. The 4th Avenue area is up and coming and we felt safe. Coming back in the evening to such a large apartment was a pleasure as we weren't all on top of one another. The garden was beautiful but under used as we were so busy out and about. Great food in walking distance, cool bars and excellent breakfast spots on the doorstep. Yup, we'll be back.
