This apartment is a very good option to stay directly in Manhattan. My family and me used it as a base for our touristic activities. The location feels to be perfectly safe - even from a fastidious european's perspective. You have a very nice roofed market area close by (3 minutes on foot) to shop groceries, with a very good selection of organic offerings, too (Essex market). The next subway station is exactly there, too. So you can shop before going somewhere or directly after returning. The apartment itself is very nice and comfy, and from a family's point of view actually better than on the current pictures, because you have a large and comfortable sleeping area for the adults, plus two single beds in separate rooms. The communication with Peter was very good in every aspect. Check in and check out was managed in person and very smooth. As the apartment was not directly rented after us, we could even leave our luggage there for the rest of the day. Thank you very much, Peter!
