My boyfriend and I had never been to NYC before, and wanted to spend 2 weeks there in order to see and experience a lot, but not run from museum to museum and don't really "see" anything, if you know what I mean. This accommodation added to our experience. It was so cozy that we loved sleeping in or staying home in the evening. The neighborhood is great - lots of cafes, bars, food options etc. We felt like home very quickly.
There are several public transport stops in the vicinity, so you can easily get anywhere in Manhattan, but also Brooklyn. We also walked a lot! NYC is very walkable, which surprised me, and it takes about an hour from the apartment to the Empire State Building, for example. So when the weather is nice, grab a coffee and walk :)
Cara is very easy to talk to and a very interesting and fun person. She made us feel welcome and made sure that we are warm and cozy during this winter holiday.
We already know that we want to come back - to NYC and to this apartment!
