We had an awesome time here! Esi's place was clean, warm and inviting! We felt very much at home and very much like native New Yorkers. We were greeted at the door by a super friendly young lady by the name of Keiva who was preparing the apartment for our arrival. She escorted us to the apartment and gave us the tour of the place and some recommendations in the neighborhood. There's even a cozy open air courtyard that was a perfect spot to unwind and lounge on a warm summer night. Crack the windows open in the morning and you hear the city waking up, close them and you will sleep restfully. A great place to return to after a day of exploration and/or heavy shopping! Just a block to one of the areas nicest restaurants, the Edge! A hop and a skip to the B and C train that took us strait to "Downtown". A few blocks from a well stocked grocery store should you want to whip up meals at home. We felt safe and secure, she was very responsive and communicative before, during and after our visit. We never like we were on our own or left hanging. It was over the moon! We are recommending her place to our friends and family and would love to return to Esi's again the next time we go the Big Apple.
