Ashley has a really lovely apartment in a quiet, safe neighbourhood. Grocery stores, play areas, bars/cafes and the MTA network are all easily walkable (you can be Manhattan in half an hour door to sidewalk).
The only thing our kids (10, 14) would have preferred would be a television which is not in the apartment, but they had WiFi and phones so it wasn't too unbearable for them!
Ashley was friendly and very responsive to messages (virtually instantly) and was helpful finding us a place to watch a bit of sport, even though she was clear it wasn't her area of expertise.
Overall we loved the location, apartment and city. We definitely plan to return to NYC after a very successful first trip!
Thanks Ashley 👍
