We lived like locals in the heart of downtown Manhattan thanks to this apt. The apt is clean and comfortable, the perfect location for exploring all that Manhattan has to offer. So many cool restaurants, bars, and cafes right around the corner. Not to mention museums and art galleries. The beds were comfortable and firm and we slept well cause the apartment is quiet. I travel a lot to New York, and I can say this is one of the best apts I have stayed at because it is reliable and practical, great value for the money!
