We were delighted to meet Carey for the first time after exchanging emails with her quite often. We had a great time in the city with what we wanted to do and found the location of the apartment excellent. Carey was very accomodating and helped us get settled and showed us around her apartment. Her apartment is very tiny but was all we really needed (about the same as a hotel). The bed was comfortable, the AC adequate, bathroom and kitchen facilities were just right. The one drawback was lack of comfortable seating and TV which I didn't realize beforehand. There was a radio which was helpful. The apartment was quiet for the most part except the upstairs neighbor was a little noisy. There is a parking garage on the same street that we used and the worker Luis was helpful in giving us a good rate for two days. For those who are pet friendly, Carey's cat was there and she was as sweet as can be. She kept us company and never bothered us. We ate at the 44th SW Restaurant for lunch and had a great Caesar salad and excellent pizza. Another restaurant was Westway Diner on 9th Ave. which was good. In the evening we walked to the pier on 12th Ave. which has a restaurant with outside seating and we enjoyed a drink there. The pier has many seating areas and some grassy areas to relax on. It is a nice quiet space when you want to get away from the noise. Overall we had a great trip, got to go to Times Square, Central Park, Carnegie Deli, Juniors Restaurant, and saw the Naked Cowboy. We did it all by walking too!
