Xiren was incredibly helpful both before and throughout our stay; checking in and out was extremely straightforward and the apartment was exactly as described. We didn't have a huge amount of time to explore the neighbourhood itself but it was easy to explore all parts of Manhattan from it. The flat was warm but the heating pipes were very noisy so we found it better to turn on the heating during the day when we were out and then off at night. We had a wonderful trip and can't wait to come back!
