Apartment was great, quite small but had everything we needed. The owner left all of her possessions everywhere which was very trusting of her! That wasn't a negative, just a comment really. Overall, a great experience. |

We enjoyed our stay in New York City very much and were very pleased with the apartment: Clean, comfortable and very nice. Everything was like promised, the owner helped us by giving us good ideas about the city. So we can't complain at all!! |

We stayed in this vacation rental from September 4 until September 9, and enjoyed every minute! It was extremely clean, and very well appointed, in a great location, and even nicer than the website photos suggested. [The apartment owner] was the perfect landlady: helpful, friendly and approachable. |
