Midtown Manhattan holiday apartment

21B 35 W33 St was great, just like the description. It's small, but good value considering the location. Wireless internet is only available in the lounge, but there are computers to use if you haven't brought your own.

Julian was great to deal with. I'd recommend him, the apartment, and the location to anyone wanting to stay in the heart of things in comfort without breaking the bank. It was fun being able to see the Empire State from the table too, and the Chrysler from the bed!

The apartment was very nice, spacious, with a wonderful view. There were lots of attractions around the corner, and all subways lines were at hand, so we went to Harlem, Bronx, Brooklin, and all main attractions. We went to Washington and we were 2 blocks away from Penn St, Amtrack, so we just walked at 5.30am to our train and we came back at 2 am the same night. The Empire State was next to our building!! We had Deli´s all around to buy the basic meals. Also the shopping was easy.
Also, around our block we went to chinese and corean restaurants. We went to Standard Jazz one night and it was about 2 streets from us. We spent a wonderful week in NY.
Gracias por todo a Julian,
Susana

If you, like us, have never done the vacation rental thing, start now! We were so apprehensive, but Julian was quick to respond to emails and phone calls, and he put us totally at ease. We arrived early in the morning on the 17th of August, dead on our feet, and were pleasantly surprised when we walked through the door. Beautifully layed out, tastefully decorated, and oh, the magnificent views! We were even more pleased when we immediately lay down on the bed. It is BEYOND comfortable! Be prepared though, as its not like a hotel, in that there are leftovers from other guests in the fridge/freezer, and if you run out of toilet paper, get on down to Walgreens. LOL The good thing is that its literally only a few doors down if you need anything. If you like to cook, there are basics in the cupboards. And if you forget your hairdryer and curling iron as I did, these are located under the sink! YAY! I think the only thing that wouldve made this apartment even better would be 1)for it to be a little cleaner (there was a pile of yuckies behind the toilet) and a stackable washer/dryer combo. We arent used to re-using our towels. LOL I know the previous reviews mentioned the Empire State Building, but, I have to reiterate, what an amazing neighbor! It is literally right next door, and right outside our window (from 21B). The apartment is located on 33rd Street, Midtown Manhattan, in a lovely and safe area. It is close to pretty much everything you want to see! We walked everywhere til about the third day, when our feet were complaining! LOL We saw all of the usual touristy things, and we ate at some fabulous restaurants! We recommend Peter Luger Steakhouse in Brooklyn (about 15 minutes via taxi) the steak just melts in your mouth! We also tried Le Cirque (dont bother) and Bobby Flays Mesa Grill, which was FANTASTIC. We dont recommend taking the subway unless you for SURE know where you are to get off. We loved the carriage ride thru Central Park! (accessible at Central Park South) The Statue of Liberty was amazing (get tickets online!) Taxis were always easy to hail. They even take credit/check cards, which we found hilarious! The drivers are so friendly, and made us feel comfortable. We were nervous upon departure, wondering if we should book a car service because we had to leave early in the morning (4am) to catch our flight at JFK. But we walked outside to find not just one taxi, but 2. Cant WAIT to visit again! Thanks Julian!
