We have just spent a wonderful nine days in New York, this was partly due to Pat’s apartment. Pat was easy to communicate with and he kept us informed, before, during and after our stay. He was the perfect host and was there when we needed him.

The apartment was as described, basic, but as we were out most of the day sightseeing, it met our needs perfectly. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook, but we only ever used it to make ourselves toast and coffee as there are so many options to dine out nearby. The room overlooking the street can get a little noisy at night with what’s going on outside, but it wasn’t an issue for us as we were too tired to care. We were dreading the stairs after reading some of the previous reviews, but they weren’t as bad as we first feared. There were only 64 stairs and not 80, and we got used to them pretty quickly.

The location was perfect, five minutes from Time Square and so many wonderful and varied restaurants, bars, nightclubs within a block from the apartment.

Just around the corner there is a bus stop which can be used to travel around the city, but we mainly used the subway which is just a short walk away from the apartment.

We would highly recommend this apartment to anyone wishing to spend time in New York.
