We arrived after a long 30 hour journey from South Africa and were pleasantly surprised to find a clean, well looked after, spacious apartment with a lot of character. It is only about 750m away from Union Square which has tons of main stores and the main subway. We really enjoyed coming back to the apartment after a long day of touring and shopping. The aircon and WiFi were great as it got very hot in the city in the summer, with the WiFi allowing us to research tours and stay in touch with family back home. There were fresh towels in the bathroom and fresh sheets in the bedroom with the whole apartment being very clean-which is extremely important to us. The neighborhood is great and not too busy or noisy which was great to get away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas in the city. We really felt like locals with grocery stores in close proximity allowing us to buy food and store in the fridge in the apartment. All in all we would definitely recommend staying at Casper' apartment for your next visit as he was a very attentive host responding very quickly to any questions we had and it's evident that he takes pride in his great apartment. We will definitely stay there again for our next visit :)
