I had such an amazing time in New York City. I had some business to conduct in Manhattan. Michelle's and Catarina's place was so convenient to everything NYC. The train stop (M,R lines) was a quick 10-minite walk. There was a fresh food market nearby, a rite aid that stays open late, and some really good pizza around the corner. The neighborhood was very safe and walkable. Oh and you probably want to know about the place I stayed. :) Complete one bedroom apartment with EVERYTHING I needed. Nice kitchen, bathroom, and comfy bed. It was well insulated and cozy (not one of those cold places where I can't warm up). Oh and the hosts were the best. Easily accessible and responsive. I wish I could've stayed longer. I highly recommend this place to anybody needing a small apartment in NYC.
