Last month I arranged to spend an entire month in NYC with 4 other friends all coming and going with their different travel arrangements- the most guests being 4 at one time. We had plenty of room and it never felt crowded or too small a space for 4 people. The fact that this is an apartment with 3 real bedrooms is an absolute find in this city!

THE HOSTS: When one of the friends decided to extend her stay Anu and Sarah we're so hospitable in helping to arrange extra accommodation for her and ended up setting up the second apartment downstairs so that we could all be together.

Correspondence with them was always easy and friendly. They provided a lot of detail before and throughout our stay which was hugely appreciated as we always new what was going on and felt supported if we needed to ask anything. The hosts are beautiful and caring. I even had some drama on the last day as my intl. card had expired and I wasn't having any luck getting a car to the airport so they stayed with me and booked another car service and we're willing to do everything they could to help me out. It was incredibly kind- I absolutely would've been stressing without them.

THE APARTMENT: The apartment itself is super cute and cosy. The beds are really comfortable and the home is beautifully styled. Very clean, bathroom is newly renovated and the hot water system is awesome. Exactly like the photos- if not better. Also excellent wardrobes and storage in every room.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD: The area is nice and quiet (for NYC) and you get beautiful sunshine on the front of the house in the morning. There are a few good restaurants, cafes and bars on the street, really convenient ATM's and a big supermarket plus a Laundromat directly behind the house (great people watching). Best coffee on street- Konditori, Sit and Wonder, Best Pizza- Ogliastro, Best Diner- Toms (a New York institution), Best Sushi- Gen. If you walk 2 blocks over there are restaurants and famous Brooklyn ice creamery on Vanderbilt Ave and 1 more block and you're in the heart of the area. We felt quite safe in the area and never had any issues. We comfortably walked home from the subway by ourselves (25yo women) when we weren't together but I would probably suggest getting the subway to 2/3 line if it's after 11pm and you're concerned- it's closer and well lit. The other walk is safe but the residential streets aren't as well lit. We mostly got the B/Q line but 2/3 was also good. Bus a few blocks away on Classon gets you to W'burg and further North BK more conveniently than subway. The Brooklyn Flea & Berg'n is around the corner and has amazing food stands & great vintage. The grilled cheese from 'The Milk Truck' and Doughs Donuts are to die for.

Definitely recommend this listing to anyone!
