We had a great stay at Sam's place in NYC! Although he was out of town and we didn't meet him personally, he replied to questions instantly and referred us to his manager and her husband who checked us in. The apartment was clean and well supplied. The street was as quiet as a nyc street could possibly be! A lot quieter than where we've stayed in the past! We will definitely stay again, when we visit NYC! No hidden surprises! 5 star!
