Central Park Wedding

Review Submitted: May 21, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
For what my husband and I required this place was perfect! When I went to sleep and woke in the morning my view was of the Empire State Building. Quiet and very clean. Close to cool resturants and good coffee. View of Manhattan is breathtaking and only a few steps to East River. Grocery store across the street with anything you could want. We were in NYC for our son's wedding and stayed for 5 days. This new and emerging area of Long Island City is the place to see. We have already highly recommended this place to family and friends and we intend to use again if available.
Owner's Response: Thank you very much for your kind words :)

Feels just like home

Review Submitted: October 9, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
I am a native New Yorker and have lived in the area for more than 4 years before I moved overseas for work. In fact, I still own a apartment right across the street from Tammy's place.

I rented Tammy's apartment on a recent trip home for 5 days. I had 2 weeks vacation and wanted to stay in my own neighborhood, Tammy's apartment was a shoe in for what I needed.

The apartment is cozy, with a great view. Tammy's service was fantastic and very accommodating.

Granary Park area of the Long Island City is the hottest neighborhood in New York City, being 1 subway stop from Grand central station and surrounded by 2 highways (Long Island Expressway and Brooklyn Queens Expressway), Midtown tunnel and the 59th street bridge, there is a ferry service which takes about 5 minutes to 34 street or 20 minutes to wall street. The apartment is about a $20 cab ride from LGA and $35 from JFK, it is quick and easy for any points in NYC or Long Island.

This is what I called the best of both worlds. You are in the city without all of the hassle of living in a tiny apartment in the city, mean while enjoying a waterfront property with full view of the mid town east. This might sound very self serving, but it is the truth.

Highly recommend the apartment.

Location, Value, Perfect

Review Submitted: July 2, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My son and I stayed here for our very first New York visit. He for pleasure and exploration, me for business. For both of us, the apartment was ideal. I loved the neighborhood. It reminded me of my favorite California beach town. Groceries and drugstore were across the street, restaurants and coffee houses a block or two away, subway a pleasant three blocks. Car service, plenty easy.

In one subway stop we were in the heart of it all, making it easy to escape to in the middle of the day if we wanted a break. The best part, besides the city view including the fantastic Empire State Building, was the peace and quiet after a hectic day of work and sightseeing. Close behind was Tammy's responsiveness, cheerfulness and professionalism. I'd stay again, even bringing my hard to please husband and will recommend it to others.

Review Submitted: April 18, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
My son, Daughter and I just returned from a four day trip to NYC. This apartment was great! It was easy to get anywhere in the city we wanted to go. Tamera even had a map of the subway to help you find your way. And at night the window had a fantastic view of the Empiror State Building. We felt very safe walking home at night from the subway. It was a great place to stay it is small but has a full stocked kitchen although we were mostly looking for a place to crash at the end of the day. My daugher ask me to keep this apartment info in case we come back. Tamera was helpful in getting everything set up. When we arrived all I had to do is announce myself to the front desk. Thanks Tammy

Jim & Mo's week in New York (February 2009)

Mo & Jim Glasgow
Review Submitted: March 4, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
Having just spent a week in New York staying at this apartment i would like to give the following review. The booking process of the apartment was very easy & Tamara was extremely helpful & quick to respond to any queries. The apartment itself was lovely, very modern, clean, comfortable and much bigger than expected. A huge plus for the apartment was the view of manhattan, fantastic!! The neighbourhood was nice, safe and had plenty of shops, take aways, restaurants & a few bars. The walk to the subway took only a few minutes which then got you into manhattan in no time. If returning to New York we would definately rent this apartment again & I would highly recommend it to my friends & anyone else visiting the Big apple!

Excellent Value

FLB San Francisco, California, USA
Review Submitted: October 27, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
I used this apartment for my ten day vacation in New York City. It is perfect for one or two people who are visiting for the first time or for the tenth time. The building is relatively new and the apartment was clean and ready for occupancy when I arrived. The kitchen has all the equipment, dishes and silverware you need to prepare a snack or a full meal. Having the use of the phone was convenient as I made and received calls from friends and family.

I'ts a ten minute walk to the subway and you are in mid-Manhattan in another ten minutes or less. Purchase a Metro card and you can get all over the City.

There is a decent grocery store across from the subway entrance and several well priced restaruants including the one in the apartment building. After a long day in Manhattan is was convenient to call and have dinner delivered, which I did several times.

Tamara's customer service is excellent. My requests were met the same day and my deposit was returned the day after I returned home. Can't beat that service.

I recommend this property to anyone who is visiting New York City and wants a quiet place with a wonderful view to spend the evenings. No street noise means you can sleep as late as you like.
Owner's Response: Thank you for your kind words Francine - How thoughtful you are to take the time to write a review...I am so fortunate to have clients like yourself...I really appriciate all of your kind words and I look forward to working with you again on your next trip to New York - Kindest Regards, TK

We couldn't have asked more

Mansesta Tampere, Finland
Review Submitted: September 18, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
As tourists from Finland we were a just a bit concerned about the fact that both the reservation fee and the rent had to be paid 100% in advance but everything went just fine. The apartment was exactly like promised, very well equipped and the building was very quiet. The location couldn't have been better and the view over to Manhattan crowned it all. Had we any questions, they were answered quickly and the reservation fee was returned during the same day we got back home.
I can recommend the apartment to everyone and should we come back some day, I'll know whom to contact!
