this was a five star place. Agnes went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She could not have been more helpful, providing breakfast, snacks and lots of information about things to see and places to eat. The bedroom was spacious,warm and comfortable. We could also use the lounge and kitchen if we wanted. The apartment was very well placed, only 2minutes walk from the subway station, and only 10 minutes into Times Square on the subway train. The area was clean, safe and, most importantly, quiet. There were lots of local eating places also. This is my 3rd time in New York and this is by far the best place I have stayed. Agnes is a first class host and I will definitely stay here again
