True New York!
Review Submitted: November 16, 2009
Date of Stay: October 2009
This apartment sits in the borough of Brooklyn about 20 minutes subway journey from Manhattan, perfectly placed for an easy trip to the hustle and bustle. Ideal location if you want to feel like a true New Yorker, away from the tourist trappings of the usual NYC hotel.
Owner is very friendly, and has spent quite a few years in New York and is there to help for anything that you may need to make your trip run smoother.
The apartment is a modern, well-furnished and very well maintained residence. With its more than adequate cooking facilities coupled with its high level of cleanliness making this apartment an excellent choice.
This apartment as said is not in downtown Manhattan, so if you want the Empire State Building on your doorstep then this isn’t the place for you. However, if you like getting a feel for what New York is really about then this is perfect. We loved the experience of true New York, everyone was extremely friendly and was very helpful. The apartment is 4 mins walk from the subway station, where there are regular trains to pretty much anywhere you’d want to go in New York. After being informed from the owner of the apartment, about the subway’s Metrocard, $27 for as much subway travel for the week as you want, we used this to get EVERYWHERE.
We used this apartment during Marathon week, as three of us were running. It was ideal, we got to the marathon in perfect time, and fully energised after a good night sleep (Showers were very good afterwards too!!!!). The apartments inclusive Wi-Fi is very handy and helps you plan days out, call home or check your emails, (if you take your laptop of course).
In conclusion this apartment is a great place for family and couples, we loved the experience, and would definitely go back.
