Our stay at Ali and Justin's apartment was boss. Although they were travelling themselves they made sure we got in okay and were available to answer any queries - we had no emergencies while we were there but if we had have done they also had a friend locally who could have helped out while they were away. The apartment itself felt like home from the minute we arrived, and we were greeted by the beautiful Ms Sweetpea within minutes of our arrival. As her humans had predicted she was a wee bit shy at first but soon warmed to us and made our time away from our own three (!) cats much easier. She also enjoyed chasing the toys that were around the place, though she wasn't too fussed while we were there as the weather was super sticky and warm for the whole week that we were there. We even got a thunderstorm which freaked us out a tad (we don't get storms that big in our bit of the UK!) but left Ms Pea unfazed. I should also add that the neighbourhood is quiet, friendly and safe, and the apartment is around 5-10 minutes walk to the nearest subway station which is extremely handy for getting to and from JFK. Having the Williamsburg Bridge so close was a godsend too, and we took on board Ali and Justin's recommendation to walk it. Very glad we did!
We would 100% recommend a stay with Ali and Justin - if you're looking for a home from home in a quiet and friendly neighbourhood this is likely the place for you. We would for sure love to stay with them again and take care of their adorable cat if we ever get to visit NYC again. Thank you both very much for a fantastic stay!
