A host that starts reaching out a week before your stay, just to make sure it all goes smoothly?! Well, that’s exactly what Deirdre did!
Her communication and ease of instructions for check in was unmatched. And, of course, highly appreciated.
Now let’s talk about the apartment. It’s in a solid location in Hells Kitchen that is surrounded by neighborhood favorites, mom and pop spots that have been around forever (definitely go by Sacco Pizza - 60yrs there!), and we felt completely safe walking around.
The building is lovely, with a friendly doorman and the ease of first floor apartment with luggage was even better. The apartment is exactly as it shows on the listing, and a welcomed change from the super cramped NYC hotel rooms.
Each of the rooms have smart TVs which was nice for relaxing at the end of the night.
The kitchen is small, as you’ve read in previous reviews but if you know anything about NYC, then you know you should expect that. I was actually pleasantly surprised that it had a full size stove/oven, fridge and dishwasher. Most units in NYC have dorm-size since space is minimal. Nonetheless, we ate out mostly all meals because it was easy to run to the deli on the corner for breakfast (the lox’s were bomb!), or over to the diner, etc. Plenty of options in a 2-block radius.
The apartment was perfectly cleaned and well stocked with linens and towels.
Location couldn’t be more perfect. A quick 4 blocks over to the theater for our show was lovely and convenient. A mere few blocks to USS Intrepid and also Time Square. Though we chose to walk a lot, we also found uber and lyft super easy and quick from this location.
HIGHLY recommend Deirdre’s listings and we will certainly book with her again on our next trip to town.
TIP: you can get even better deals with taxi’s right now above rideshare when you’re in the city and wanting a ride to the next location. Taxi’s are abundant and we found them to be approx 1/2 the cost.
