clean, amazing view

This was our very first trip to New York and had an amazing time. The Apartment was extremely clean and cozy. It is located in a very clean safe neighborhood. We never felt uncomfortable walking anywhere anytime of the day or night. Located within walking distance to many tourist destinations (Times Square, central park, etc), and tons of restaurants nearby. This apartment was ideal for everything we wanted to see. I can’t say enough how helpful Tamra was with the Rental or any questions we had, I was very Leary of renting like this being we always stay in hotels when we travel. I can't say enough how pleased we were with our stay in Tamara's apartment. We look forward to our next trip to the big city and already know that we want to stay here again. Thank you so much on making the accommodations to our adventure so pleasant.

Thank you so much for helping to make our NYC trip awesome!! The apartment was very nice, extremely clean and a great location. We loved the view of the Hudson and the person at the front desk was always very helpful and friendly! Thank you for also being so timely in your responses to emails, the return of our deposit and making the rental process very easy. It was a truly great experience and our 2 boys (ages 9 & 11) loved getting a taste of living in NYC!! We have already recommended your apartment to some of our friends.

We stayed at Tammy's apartment last week and had a great time exploring the city. The location is very convenient to the subway and is also walking distance to Central Park, Times Square, Fifth Ave... the list goes on. The rooftop terrace has gorgeous views and was a great place to relax with refreshing drink after a day of sightseeing.

The apartment was very clean and very well stocked. It was so much more comfortable than staying in a hotel room. The free wireless internet was also very helpful when planning our daily activities.

Tammy was extremely accommodating for us, as we made our reservations at the last minute. I would not hesitate recommending this apartment and will definitely go back the next time that we visit New York.

I stayed in Tamara's apartment for two weeks during May 09. I arrived to this apartment building to a friendly, welcoming and well mannered concierge/ doorman. My apartment was spotless and well maintained. I did not expect the minor amenities like shampoos, conditioners, soap and toilet paper to be in the apartment, but they were and very much appreciated as well! The kitchen was extremely well stocked with cooking amenities and was a lovely manageable but spacious size; not to mention the added convenience of a fridge, dishwasher, microwave and even a blender! The apartment was much bigger than the pictures displayed on the net and the view was just stunning both day and night. The apartment complex also had a gymnasium, lounge room for guests or just a relaxing afternoon and a roof top garden as well. There was the added convenience of having a laundry with a washer and dryer on every floor, plus an ATM and vending machine on the top floor. The building was very secure and having a 24hr doorman made you feel very safe. Tamara also provided internet, a computer and printer if needed, and free telephone calls within the USA, this was a big help. The doorman/ concierge provided excellent tips on where to go and where the nearest shops were located and how to get to places of interest to you. Times Square was a 10 -15 minute walk away and it was very safe to walk this distance, even late at night. This was my first time in New York City and having such beautiful accommodation along with the friendly staff that worked there definitely made this a “home away from home” for me. A hotel gets cleaned for you and this apartment literally took a whole 20 minutes maximum to clean yourself, if it needed it. I originally grappled with the idea of a hotel versus and apartment and I am so glad I did not stay in a hotel and chose Tamara’s apartment instead. I had privacy and everything that I needed at my fingertips in a beautiful location and the owner was available at all times, as well as the concierge, that is just great service. Also leading up to my vacation Tamara was available anytime I needed her, travelling on my own as a female, single international tourist this made me feel very safe and at home. Tamara’s apartment definitely was the right decision for me and I’d highly recommended her “apartment welcome homes” to anyone thinking about an apartment for their next vacation or business trip. It had everything a good home should have!

Excellent! This is the word to qualify the appartement. Everything was perfect. The appartment was clean, in very good conditions. We loved every minute we passed in it. The view on the Hudson is incredible. And the terrace at the rooftop is just amazing, with confortable chairs and the view of Manhattan. Tamara was always available and we love the way she answered every question before we rented.She solved immediately a problem with the phone. We would recommend this property to our friends and we did it already. Great location, with buses, subways and restaurant close. I'ts a place to recommend and to enjoy. We would certainly go back for another vacation.

This place is everything it claims. Immaculate, (cleaner than clean), great location, friendly staff and neighbors.
Now to the meat. You walk out the door to 10th Ave and turn right. 2 blocks down will be 1-2-3 burger shot and a beer, Great.
We lucked out to be there during the 9th Ave. street fair on the weekend and the start of fleet week
We purchased a metro card for $25/person and rode the subway from the Bronx to the Battery all week.
Times Square is fun for awhile but the crush of people can wear you down, but if you retreat to 9th Ave, from 42nd to 57th, for the evening you will find foods of all cuisines, and moderately priced.

I run a yacht charter company in the Virgin Islands and have always said it is all about the area, not where you sleep. In this case i say that after a hard day of walking, siteseeing and drinking, I looked forward to the studio.

If you have an early flight the day of departure, the night before go down to the ground floor and get some great sandwiches and desserts , go back to the rooftop and enjoy the view and a martini before you pack.

We stayed in Tamara's unit 1/11-1/26/09. We couldn't be more pleased with the accommodations. We have been visiting NY regurlarly for the past 6 years..and Tamara's unit is at the top of our list. This unit was quiet and does not have the party atmosphere that many hotels have or the interruptions of housekeepers. The view of the Hudson is amazing. Oddly enough our visit included the Miracle on the Hudson..something we will never forget. If you visit the area branch out and try the different restaurants off of 9th or 10th. Stay away from touristy restaurants on restaurant row. Restaurant delivery is amazing in NY so go for it and try it. You will not be disappointed by Tamara's unit..it has everything! I hope to stay again!

We were really thrilled to stay in this immaculately clean and comfortable apartment. The view is breathtaking and it is well positioned for exploring the city. Tamara was really helpful and fixed a problem with the computer without any fuss or delay. Do try the restaurant ( Taboon) at the end of the street - really good middle eastern food. The only thing which makes me hesitate to recommend the apartment is that it may end up too fully booked for us to have it again. Enjoy.
