We stayed at Vlad's for 5 nights and we absolutely loved every day. The views from the 40th floor were outstanding and we never tired of seeing it day and night. Spectacular. We could relax and rest in style and comfort throughout our stay. Vlad was the most perfect host, making us feel so welcome and helped us with plenty of local advice on places to see, visit and eat. It was also very quiet; considering you're in a big building shared with many neighbours, we never heard a thing. The door staff and reception were so friendly, extremely smart and, always happy.
Vlad's place is the perfect location, right opposite the Empire State Building and so central to reach most of the top places to see on foot.
Nearby, we hired a bicycle for 3 hours and completed the Central Park loop, with a picnic to end a perfect day. Central Park was beautiful to see and great fun to cycle around.
We used the local transport to and from JFK and it was so simple to access and reliable too.
