Contact with Marjorie prior to the trip was quick and informative.
On arrival we were welcomed by Paul and handed the 3 keys for entry to the building and the room, all of which seemed safe and secure. You have your own entrance.
The room was clean and well equipped with coffee, milk, water and biscuits provided along with a microwave, coffee maker and fridge.
The bathroom was fitted to a very high standard and included a hairdryer and electric socket.
The bed was extremely comfortable.
Although NYC has lots to do it may have been nice for a small television or radio or docking station to help unwind after a busy day. That said the wifi is very good if you have an ipad or other device to watch things on. This is not a deal breaker. The room was superb.
The area had mixed reviews prior to our visit however local cafes, restaurants and bakery made us feel welcome, good quality food and reasonable prices for NYC.
We travelled around the area on both the bus and subway, a couple of times arriving back quite late (11pm/12am). As two women travelling we never felt unsafe.
The area is still in the city and there is a bit of street noise but we had brought earplugs as one of the party is a light sleeper.
Although it is geographically a good bit from downtown it is very accessible via subway and the station is just around the corner.
All round very enjoyable stay, very warm and comfortable apartment. We hope to be back!
Thanks to Paul and Marjorie!
