We had a great time staying in this basement apartment. We wanted somewhere that was homely and spacious that we could relax in at the end of the day and we did just that.
The apartment is exactly as you see on the pictures and there are no awful hidden surprises - only great ones! (See below for extras provided). We didn’t get chance to use any of the cooking appliances as we ate out all of the time, but it was great to know they were there and to be able to make a tea in the morning was fab!
My wife’s favourite spot was the leather armchair in the lounge, the bed and pillows were so comfortable and the shower was amazing!! There is even a drawer with hairdryers and styling tongs if you want to curl your hair! There’s lots of space to hang your clothes and keep your suitcases, (unlike in the unusual matchbox hotel room in NYC). We loved it here.
Small extras were really appreciated such as eye masks and ear plugs, huge bottles of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel (meaning the traveller doesn’t need to think about them). There is a stack of books and leaflets for reference to help you decide where to visit and how to get about.
Howard and Renata are the perfect hosts; such lovely, welcoming people and offered to keep our suitcases until we went to the airport as we had a late flight home.
We’d definitely recommend a stay here and would love to come back. It’s a 20 minute journey into Manhattan, go for breakfast at Bergen bagel and eat dinner at El Patron every evening - Amazing!
