Benjamin 's apartment was in a great location close to grocery shops, laundromats, cafes and the subway. The neighbourhood was safe and friendly even when returning late at night on the subway (11pm ish ) with our 5 yr old. It was a great location for exploring all New York has to offer. The apartment was well equipped with all a family would need or be used to from home (dishwasher etc). The beds were comfy even the camp bed was too!! The wifi was very strong and there was plenty hot water in the shower. There was a transformer for converting European voltage for items like curling tongs and hair straighteners which require a strong transformer. There was air conditioning which was great ! That was a huge bonus!! The back yard was fab for our 5 yr old with hula hoops and a little scooter to keep her busy! Benjamin kindly lent us a picnic blanket for our stay which we used daily at the park! He lent us a box of kids books and toys for our 5 yr old which was very much appreciated. Benjamin recommended lots of great places to visit that were family friendly. We really enjoyed our stay at his place and would defo recommend it !
