Our family just finished a 5 night stay at this flat, and it was an excellent choice and really an enhancement to our trip to New York City. We checked in quite late on a Saturday night with no problems at all. We were greeted by Frank, our main contact, and had all of our questions answered promptly . The space was clean and invitingly decorated. We had plenty of space for our family of 4 and all our road-trip gear that we brought along. The air conditioners worked great, and there was wireless access for our kid’s countless devices (did I mention a box of cookies and orange juice in the fridge?).
The location is a reasonable and safe walk to two different subway lines that took us into Manhattan each day. The walk to the 2 line is only a few blocks through a quiet neighborhood, and the walk to the 5 line is about 15 minutes along a busy and colorful mixed-use street. Transportation took about an hour each way (including the walk and the ride) but was a great slice of NYC life for our family to participate in and navigate. Parking was convenient and free. We managed to leave two lights on in our car when we unloaded so had a dead battery, which we resolved within 30 minutes with Frank’s jumper cables. THANK YOU!
Our kids enjoyed the private yard (our 9 year old son was grateful , in particular, for the large side yard to throw the ball around), the chess board, and the futon in front of the TV to watch when we got back “home” from a busy day. The kitchen had all we needed to prepare breakfasts and late night snacks (with convenient grocery stores in the neighborhood as well). This was such a better alternative to staying in the tourist scene at a hotel (and made for a great adventure). Thanks again.
