The apartment was amazing - just as spacious, lovely and clean as the pictures show! All the furniture is really comfortable and the beds especially after a long day touring. Edmund made us feel very welcomed with a thank you card, bottle of wine, fresh fruit, soda cans and bottled water in the fridge. There was even a selection of coffee pods for the Keurig machine. Plenty of towels and even toothbrushes and shampoo available in the bathroom in case they had been forgotten. The kitchen had everything we needed - the only thing I would recommend would be a few more teaspoons and tablespoons. We were more than comfortable in the apartment. The street is lovely and the yards well kept. Taxis into Manhattan cost $35 flat rate using Edmunds suggestion of a car service. I would highly recommend staying here - Edmund was a most gracious host and always responded very quickly to any communication.
