Patty was an excellent host throughout our stay. She remained in contact with us throughout our visit and arranged for someone to meet us upon our arrival, which was appreciated. I cannot recommend the apartment enough - it's in a fantastic location, a great view towards the financial district and is perfect as a launchpad to the rest of Manhatten. It was also easy to get to from JFK. Patty left a list of recommendations for us to browse and we visited a few: favourites include Goodfellas for fantastic pizza and Kossars for bagels. However, if you wanted to eat in then all you need is there. The laundrette right next to the block of apartments is also worth bearing in mind. It cost us less than $10 to do two people's worth of laundry from the last ten days!!
All in all, this little flat is a fantastic place to stay in NYC and I'd recommend it, and the host, to our friends.
