This is the best place I have ever been in NYC, including hotels. Gabrielle and Rich are the perfect hosts and the room is very comfortable, clean and lovely. The bathroom is big, very clean and close to the room, the building is secure and nice, very close to the subway station and there are many bus routes that go to downtown and/or the east side. There are plenty of places to buy groceries and to eat. I really liked the apartment and particularly, the cats.
