Great place to stay in Manhattan. Close to times square but yet in a much more quiet neighborhood. Lots of restaurants around to choose from. Lively neighborhood.
I would like to mention a few places close by that are worth visiting:
1. Amy’s bread- great place for coffee and scone and for bread
2. Amish market- great fresh food
3. Kochi- a Michelin restaurant
4. Schmackary's- great chocolate chips cookies!!!
Carlos is a perfect host and he is very nice, responsive and useful. He met us at 5:30 in the morning to open the apartment for us after we had a very long flight and I think only this shows how nice he is. In sum: definitely an excellent choice for accommodation in NY!
