Koray's apartment is the perfect place to stay in New York. We stayed there for 5 nights over New Year and had the time of our lives. If you want to feel a bit more like a local then Lower Manhattan is the place to be. The apartment's location is ideal with so many different areas right on your doorstep - We loved Soho, Noho and the villages. There are so many restaurants and bars nearby - We had an awesome breakfast at The Bowery and an amazing dinner at Public, aswell as great visits to Little Italy and Chinatown. We walked to most places and used the subway to head Uptown to the more touristy areas and over to Brooklyn. The apartment was just lovely to head back to after a busy day's adventuring. It is clean and spacious and so full of character. Yes - The stairs are hard work but it really is worth it when you get up there. I wouldn't consider staying in a hotel in New York now I've had the luxury to staying here!
