If you are looking for a self contained property big enough for up to 6 people with easy access to Manhattan (but without the cost of being in Manhattan) then look no further. This flat has everything you need to base a visit to New York from. It’s well appointed, in a safe neighbourhood, close enough to La Guardia and JFK and within a short walk from 2 subway stations that will take you to most of places you would want to go. It is also easy to get to the water taxi from Long Island City terminal which will take you up to Astoria and Roosevelt Island or down to Williamsburg, Dumbo and across to Pier 11 at Wall Street with excellent views of Manhattan from the east river. But the best part of staying at this property is the host, Alexandra. She is friendly, extremely helpful, very accommodating but also unobtrusive. She is full of useful tips to enhance your stay (like the water taxi) and responds quickly to any questions you may have. We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit NYC.
