Amazing experience in everyway!! I read all the reviews before I reserved the apartment, and had a little concern since we were coming from TN, and did not know the area at all. Therefore I have written a very detailed review just in case anyone needs it. We stayed in Chris and Blairs apartment for a four day weekend, November 4th through the 8th. We came to see the sites, and for my daughter to tour NYU. From the second I made the reservation, and even after we checked out, the customer service and communication from Chris and Blair was superior! They answered questions, knew we had an early flight in from TN and offered to allow us to either check in early if the apt was ready or at least meet us and allow us to drop off our luggage while the cleaners finished.
From the moment I walked in the apartment I was pleasantly surprised to see how big it is! The beds are extremely comfortable, there was no air mattresses on the floor as one review said, the one bedroom is exactly as pictured in the ad, it is a small room just big enough for the extremely comfortable mattress on the floor. However, there is a ton of space in the hallways, living room and other bedrooms for your luggage to set and still be out of the way. We had 6 adults and a 5 year old, a 2 year old and a 1 year old, with 2 pack n plays, 2 strollers, 6 large suitcases and 2 smaller ones and we still had plenty of room.
The location of the apartment was also amazing. It was true living in NY life experience with restaurants, coffee shops and shopping options all located on the streets below you. Take the elevator to the bottom floor and turn right or left or walk across the street and you will find many options for food, convenience stores or Amazon to go, Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks, Chipotle, pizza and Five guts burgers all right there! There is also a small 24 hour grocery just around the corner. We were close to the subway, and an easy walk to the 911 museum, the observatiin devk at thevWorld Trade Center and the Brooklyn Bridge, just to name a few. We had no issues with feeling safe in our surroundings. The apartment is located on the 15th floor, with 3 elevators, and there is someone setting at the front desk all the time! We loved that we could open the windows and hear all of the city sounds, but when the windows are closed, it was quiet and easy to rest. The apartment had all the basic items that you need and expect. The towels were nice and soft, a definite upgrade from the basic airbnb's, and they even have fans located in the unit for those who like to open the windows and feel a breeze while listening to the city.
If my daughter attends NYU, I will definitely be staying here again! Thank you gentleman for making our trip a wonderful experience!!
