We stayed in this apartment for 6 nights in June 2013.
The apartment is as described, clean and very well situated in central Manhattan. It is only a couple of minutes walk from the Empire State building and around a 15 minutes walk from Times Square. Close by you will find a lot of nice little restaurants.
The apartment is perfect for a couple or a couple with one child/teenager. There is one bedroom which sleeps two people very comfortably plus the sofa which is comfortable for a child/teenager. The doormen were really nice and the view from the apartment is beautiful, with the Chrysler building in foreground. Wireless internet and cable works flawlessly. The rooftop is super nice and the view from there amazing. The rooftop is open until 10 pm.
We didn´t meet the host who happened to be travelling abroad but she was always just an e-mail away. She gave us excellent information before we arrived to make sure we settled in comfortably.
The only thing we should mention as a potential drawback for some people is that the owner has a cat (which was not on the premises of course) and this may pose problems for people with allergies. Otherwise this is a great place to stay with a great view in a prime location. We definitely recommend staying there.
