We stayed at this apartment for approximately 4 months, and it was our first visit to the city. It was an amazing stay, very responsive and proactive host, always accommodating any request we had. The location had easy access to Trader Joe’s, Target and Fairway (all within a minute walk). Also, it had easy access to the subway (mostly used the 6 line), and a bus stop right on the corner. Would recommend it for families, or students looking for a calm stay in Kips Bay.
