I stayed here with my wife for two weeks and we loved the apartment and its whereabouts. Joe was extremely friendly and helpful host and he gave us a lot of good advice about restaurants and shops nearby. We tried many of them - and liked them.The apartment is situated near two subway lines so it is very easy to travel to different parts of Manhattan - and further. But the neighbourhood is worth strolling around and spending time, also. It was our first time in NYC but certainly not the last.
