This apartment was in a great location with subway only steps away. It is in great conditon and was very clean on arrival. It looks exactly as seen in the pictures and the customer service provided by owner was excellent. We had a great stay in NYC and would highly recommend this apartment.

Owner response:Hi Gray, Thank you for your thoughtfulness in taking the time to write me such a lovely note. I deeply appreciate your kind words about my Manhattan apartment. Many Thanks Lee

Perfect Place

I usually never leave a review on a place because I usually forget about the place after I'm done with my travels but not this place. This is simply perfect! It is conveniently located in probably the most centralized location you can get if you're trying to see the majority of New York City. The 9/11 Memorial is a 5 minute walk, Brooklyn Bridge is 2-3 blocks away, Wall Street is in walking distance, Times Square & Rockefeller Center is a 10-15 minute train ride away, and the Fulton train station is around the corner. As for the apartment, it's gorgeous: 2 big bdrms, kitchen is up to date, bathrooms are nice, and it has a sofa bed. Our only complaints is that we didn't spend enough time at the apartment hanging out. I'm telling all that's reading this, you will not regret renting this place at; stop looking b/c this place is what you're looking for!

Great Apartment - Great Location

My wife and I frequently travel to NYC and were fortunate to stay in this aparment over a long weekend in November 2011. Everything was as described. Our afternoon flight to NYC was delayed for over two hours. We notified Lee of our late arrival and were pleased with the extra effort made to make sure we had no problems obtaining the keys. We enjoyed the convenient location to the grocery store, subway and the Brooklyn Bridge. We walked the neighborhood and made our way to the Ground Zero memorial only a few blocks away. The Brooklyn Bridge Subway line was more convenient for us than Fulton Street. It was nice to be able to cook breakfast and enjoy the entertainment center. The relatively quiet neighborhood is a big difference from mid town. Much to do and much to see meant long days and my wife enjoyed bubble baths while relaxing in the tub. We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge with the scenic views of Lower Manhattan, then took the ferry boat back to Wall Street. We were able to find our way to the Brooklyn Tabernacle for a great church service as well. We traveled to midtown to go to Radio City to see the Christmas show and had a great dinner close to Rockefeller Center. We used public transportation exclusively outside the trip to and from the airport. On our final day, we took the subway to Grand Central and then took the shuttle to the airport. There are several great Irish pubs close by and plenty of Chiptole, Five Guys, Subway, and other fast food locations in the neighborhood. Battery Park, the harbor and a view of the Statue of Liberty are just down the street. There are a few drawbacks: Three flights of stairs, 6 remote controls, construction across the street, small hot water heater and not much of a view. Even so, we plan to return to NYC a few times next year and will consider this apartment a top priority!

Super Home-Base für den New York-Aufenthalt

Sehr schönes und gepflegtes Apartment in unmittelbarer Nähe von WTC und Wallstreet. Abindung an die U-Bahn hervorragend; die Stationen befinden sich in unmittelbarer Nähe. Anreise: direkte Verbindung vom Flughafen JFK in die Nassau Street - kein Umsteigen mit Gepäck nötig! Wir waren mit 2 Erwachsenen und 4 Teenagern in diesem Apartment. In jedem Schlafzimmer war ein Flachbildschirm vorhanden, und im Wohnzimmer eine leistungsfähige Musikanlagen und ein großer Fernseher. CDs und DVDs waren in großer Anzahl vorhanden, haben wir aber nicht genutzt. WLAN funktionierte einwandfrei - ein super Service! Bettwäsche und Handtücher waren sehr ausreichend vorhanden. Waschmaschine und Wäschetrockner haben sehr gut funktioniert und waren einfach zu bedienen. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet; von Grill über Mikrowelle und großem Backofen ist alles vorhanden. Es hätte mehr Geschirr da sein können und vor allem mehr Töpfe, um für 6 Personen zu kochen. Die Betten in den Schlafzimmern waren sehr bequem, nur das Schlafsofa im Wohnzimmer war nicht empfehlenswert. Fazit: wir können dieses Apartment fast uneingeschränkt empfehlen!

My Husband, Son, Daughter, two of her girlfriends and I stayed at Lee's place back in July. It was my husband and I second time in NYC (First Time Stay off 56th and 7th), and our teens first time. Since we were a party of six, we need much more space that our last visit. Lee's place was exactly what we needed. There were 2 full bthrms, 2 bdrms, and the living room had a nice sofa that could easily sleep 2. There was also a loveseat that pullout to a twin sleeper. The apartment was clean..nice wood floors; the air got really cold which was critical after a long day of being out in the heat. The apartment was also were to be in the city. The location was true city living. You walk out of the apartment and turn left, and there is a Wendy's about a block down; a Starbuck on the same corner; a Five Guys Burgers and Fries adjacent; A CVS pharmacy. Convenience is critical when you are basically living there while vacationing. Important attractions within walking distance are South Sea Port about 4 or 5 blocks down. Teens loved that area. Battery Park was not far...about 15/20 minute walk to get to ferries for Statue of Liberty. Wall Street was just a few blocks walk (4 or 5). Ground Zero was even closer. For shopping there were shops before you cross over to the seaport, and then an actual mall there. Regarding the tour buses, South Seaport was a stop on the route. So we caught the bus there. The girls and I also figured out that if you took Fulton down to Broad St. and hung a right and walked down about 6 or 7 blocks you were in the SoHo area. Great Shopping! Lee's place is also walking distance from China Town. Just get a good map, but Lee does provide a print off with some of the information of interest. Last, but not least the subway was right around the corner, and it took 10 minutes to get to Times Square. Lee was nice and professional, and the only mishap was that we could not figure out how to work his very nice music system, and he had to come in to help us with that. He also suggested some good eats in the area on our last night. Also just want to advise about the stairs. We enjoyed the challenge as we were on the 2nd floor, but others with physcial disabilities would not. We will definitely stay there again and recommend Lee's place to anyone looking for great place during their stay in NYC. Lee, we thought about you this weekend as Irenewas coming through and we pray that all was well with you and yours and the apartments.

Owner response:Hi Arthur and Tina, Thank you so much for the fantastic review. It was great being of service to you and your family! Lee

Excellent apartment & Great location

I stayed at this apartment with 5 other friends in June. Location was excellent with easy access to the subway that gets you up to Times Square & Central Park in no time. All the amenities you could want are located near by as well. The apartment itself was clean and spacious with all the things provided that you need to start you off in a holiday apartment. Entertainment system was excellent for nights spent in relaxing and watching films. I would definitely recommend this accommodation to others...

Stayed here about a year ago, but forgot to write a review. We stayed here with our two teenage boys and had a great time. It is a great location near the subway. Very clean! We would stay here again!

We stayed here with another couple last year, and found the place to be perfect for our needs. The apartment was beautiful and luxurious, there was plenty of space, and it was in a great location close to multiple subway lines. It hands down beats staying in a hotel, I would definitely stay here again on return to NYC.
