My husband, son and I stayed in Tamara's apartment. This was our 5th trip to the city, but our first staying in an apartment, and now I will never go back to a hotel again. The apartment was absolutely spotless when we arrived, and was just as described and viewed in the photos. The building was lovely and the front desk staff were always friendly and most helpful. I will certainly contact Tamara again for our next visit to New York City. Thanks for all your help with the arrangements. You made the transaction seamless and provided a wealth of local information.

10 Days in NYC

We stayed in this apt for 10 days in NYC. I ran the NYC Marathon and then we just enjoyed the city for the rest of the trip. What a trip it was! NYC is hard not to love. :) The apt was so convenient for everything we wanted to do and it was just as described. Leading up to our trip Tamara was very helpful and quick to respond with any questions I had. We would definitely stay here again and wouldn't ever go back to staying in a hotel after this experience!

Owner response:Hi Melissa! All I have to say right now is that It sure feels good to read your review after a long grueling day of servicing the apartments & having a 4 hour meeting with my cleaning staff. There is so much behind the scenes that I do not only to make sure that you have a clean, safe & comfortable apartment, but also to know that you have someone that you can trust and talk to throughout your reservation. New York City can be a strange beast. I'm just glad you were able to enjoy the Fun of Manhattan in your Home Away From Home : ) Please look me up again on your next visit ; ) Kindest Regards, Tamara Knight

AUTUMN IN NEW YORK

Guest: The Rice's (Camarillo, CA)
Date of Stay: 09/30/11 Review Submitted: 10/25/11

We stay from September 30th through October 3, 2011. My first time in New York and my husband hadn't been there since the 60's. It is a very comfortable Studio Apartment. The towels were soft, The view of the Hudson Spectacular and the bed was very confortable. Also, the apartment was very clean and quiet. The doorman staff was very helpful. The apartment is in a very nice and safe area. The Roof top deck was wonderful with great views. There is a market just around the corner. The area was within walking distance of many of the sights. Tamara and her Aunt were great to correspond with and gave us lots of tips. We were very lucky with the weather. If you have never been to New York with suggest On Board Tours, and get your Empire State Building tickets on line before you come. Again, we had a great time and felt very safe and well taken care of. Julie & Larry Rice, Camarillo, CA

Owner response:Thank you Larry & Julie! I am so glad that you were comfortable. I am so grateful when I receive a good review. I know that I am not perfect and I am holding my breath never to receive a bad review. There is a lot of behind the scenes work that goes on to make this ship sail...When I receive reviews like this, it makes my job worth wild. Please look me up again on your next visit and thank you for the bottom of my heart for your encouraging words. b Kindest regards, Tamara

This is the 2nd time we have stayed in Tamara's apartment. Again, everything was wonderful. The reservation procedure was smooth, the apartment was exceptionally clean. It's location is walking distance to many places. Unfortunately, we were in NYC the weekend of Hurricane Irene. The first time in history the mass transit was completely shut down. Because of this, numerous shops & restaurants were closed. It was nice to have a full size kitchen. We went to the grocery & bought a few items that we were able to keep there. We spent more time inside than we wanted to, so it was wonderful we had an exceptional place to stay! We look forward to staying in other properties owned by Tamara.

My husband and I stayed here in May for the Essentially Ellington Jazz Festival. MTHS placed third by the way ;-). It was our first trip to NY and the location was great. The accommodations were clean and in good condition. We stayed in another apartment than the one pictured here but it was just as nice and had a view of the Hudson. We would stay here again for sure. Tamara Knight and her staff were great. Thanks for a lovely stay in NY!

I really enjoyed my accommodations. The unit presented better than the listing photos and description. The owner made sure that I was well taken care of. Not only is this awesome apartment comfortable and well decorated but is also a great location to stay to explore the city. Everything is within a 15 minute walk including shopping, Radio City, Carnegie Hall, Time Square, the theater district, and lots of great restaurants. Based on the lines at one of the neighborhood restaurants, there is a great ramen place up the street from the building. I will definitely try to be a repeat guest. I highly recommend this property for single travelers as well as couples. It is also a great property for a girlfriends' New York City adventure.

Owner response:Thank you very much for your kind words. Life can get very hectic It takes effort and time to take time out of your busy schedule to write a review. I am very grateful. I work 7 days a week behind the scenes in order to make sure that my clients have a clean & comfortable place to stay while visiting Manhattan. I look forward to working with you again on your next visit. Thank you again for writing a positive review. It makes me feel good to see that My hard work is paying off.

Wow! What a terrific location

My husband and I just returned from a week stay in this lovely apartment. What a wonderful place. Lots of room, very clean, well maintained, well stocked kitchen amenities and very quiet. The location was perfect for walking to the theatre, Time Square, shopping, Empire State Bldg. etc. The sundeck on the roof was great--going up there to have coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening while having a spectacular view of the surrounding area. The whole booking process went very smoothly--Our questions were answered very quickly. When we had a very minor maintenace issue it was dealt with immediately. Great week, great place. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. Can't wait to go back!

Owner response:Thank you for the great review Victoria!!! Please look me up again on your next visit!!!! Kindest regards, Tamara!!!

With the whole family in the middle of NYC

The owner has a great process to make it easy to rent the place: sign the contracts, description and how-to's etc. Everything was documented both before we arrived as well as in the apartment. It was the perfect place for our family vacation with our son and daughter for Spring Break 2011. The welcome in this nice fairly new 31 high condominium building with concierge was very easy. This rental is conveniently located and we did lots and lots of walking to gospel church, musea, theaters and sight seeing. The apartment is not huge, but even with 4 adults comfortable to sleep, make your own breakfast (and any other type of food, the kitchen is well equipped) and watch TV or a video.. Definitively a place to come back to!

Owner response:Thank you very much for your review! I don't get a chance to respond to all of the reviews because I am so busy working behind the scenes in order to make sure that my client's have a clean and comfortable place to stay. It's a lot of work behind closed doors. I sincerely thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to write a review! I am humble and I am honored. Kind regards, Tamara Knight

Me and my wife stayed in Tamara's apartment for 4 days. We stayed not in the same apartment as on the pictures however very similar and not less beautiful. Both the apartment and the building are very clean and welcoming. The underground station and many attractions are pretty close. I would definitely recommend this property to my friends.

Owner response:Darn! I always try to get 5 Stars!! I really have to step it up!!! I'm glad that you were comfortable!!

We were a party of 3 (girls) and this was our first visit to NY and also our first experience with Vacation Rental - and it was EXCELENT. The location is perfect;we attended two musicals that were a few minutes walk from the apartment, we also went to the opera /Met/ and it was also nearby. The neighbourhood is very safe and the Doormen are more than kind and friendly. The suit itself is full equiped, clean with a beautiful view of the Hudson river.And the roof graden is amazing.WE had a great time in Tamara s apartment and would certanly recommend it to our friend and relatives.
