What a great find for our girls trip this past week! Viviana's place was great and my sister and I really enjoyed our stay. It's about an 8 minute walk to the G train and was an easy commute into Times Square (30-40 min) and we felt very safe walking back after midnight each night. We didn't explore the area too much but did eat at a restaurant Barrel and Fare not far from the apartment which was very good.
Communicating with Viviana was easy and she answered all of my questions quickly and was very helpful. Check-in was easy and she sends a very helpful instruction email for everything you may need to know. Very organized. The apartment is clean and comfortable. Plenty of hot water, big bathroom, nice kitchen area and bedrooms big enough for 2 couples or a family. There's not a living room to speak of (there's a futon in the master bedroom) but we weren't spending time in the apartment just hanging out. The kitchen table was sufficient when we were in the apartment not sleeping. Viviana provided everything you might need for your stay as far as toiletries go, she even had laundry detergent if you wanted to wash clothes down the block at the laundry mat. She even made sure we were aware of her husband doing some work around the outside since we happened to be there in the afternoon in case we were there to take naps but we were just changing clothes and heading right out again. She even checked in with us to see if we needed anything and were enjoying our stay.
We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to NYC! I highly recommend her place.
