  What a wonderful place to stay! Where to begin?? Well firstly the apartment looks gorgeous, the moment you open the door....wow! Everything was provided, Dahlia even left a lovely notebook so that we could record our memories, so kind. Some food had even been thoughtfully provided. The apartment was spotlessly clean, and the beds very comfortable. Just across the road ( literally ) there is a supermarket and a pharmacy. Public transport is only a very short stroll away. In all honesty I have to say that we would definately stay there again, without hesitation. Dahlia was extremely easy to deal with, I even called her on the way to the apartment to get directions for the taxi driver!! And as a nice touch , Mervin called and made sure we were happy with everything. An overall fabulous experience!!!

  What a lovely place to stay, So peaceful after manic tiring days on your feet in the big city, the apartment is perfect, comfortable spacious and clean, fully equipped for self catering if want to. we would recommend the Bela Via italion restaurant for evenings and Dorians(No 7 subway stop) for breakfast.

  This is a great apartment as previously mentioned in other reviews. 1. Location I love the fact that it is a 1 train stop away from Grand Central. I travel well late into the night and noticed that the local subway station has a police officer at night. If you have kids there are a few playground within walking distance. One of the playground has probably the best views in the world and is located in front of the apartment. 2. Apartment The pictures on the site is just about exactly how to will see the apartment when you arrive. The apartment grows on you and the longer you stay the more you will enjoy the place. Plenty of room for everyone. My favourite place to sleep was on the sofabed in the lounge room with the windows open and the city lights beaming in .. really cool. No issue with the front desk as there is a variety of tenants that live in the complex that they don't even noticed you. 3. Owner The owners were great to deal with and was the reason I booked here as they responded to every question I had promptly easing any concerns I had. The phone in the apartment may ring a few times from telemarkers, which for me always turn into a fun conversation. Will stay here again and recommend to everyone.

  Owner response: We are so pleased that our guests enjoyed their stay in the apt. Thanks for assuring future renters that the apt. location is in a safe neighborhood and easily accessible to all major attractions.

  A fantastic and comfortable apartment. I stayed here for 5 nights with two friends, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The pictures accurately depicted the rental's appearance and amenities and there was more than enough space for us, we were delighted to have two bathrooms between us - complete with bathtubs.The apartment was conveniently located 5 minutes from the number 7 train line. Dahlia the owner was extremely accommodating and very quick to respond to any questions we had. I would definitely recommend this place and stay again on any return trip to NYC.

  Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway.

  We stayed in the apartment for 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The photos accurately represented the place. There were three of us staying and we were extremely comfortable. It was a luxury having two bathrooms between us! The line 7 tram was accurately a 5 minute walk away and very convenient for getting to most places. Dahlia was extremely amenable and happy to help with any questions. The organic fruit and veg market across the road was just amazing, we made some lovely brekkies with the produce. I would definitely recommend this palace and I look forward to my next stay here.

  The place was good but as the body corp doesn't allow short term rental we had to sneak around. Property owner difficult to deal with and made several usual phone calls checking up on us. The property wasn't quite in the location described. I have used Other VRBO properties and found others far more enjoyable

  Recommended for: Girls getaway.

  Owner response: We like to make sure our guests are comfortable, so we call occasionally to connect with our guests and help them sort out any queries.

  Our family of 5 stayed at this fantastic property for 7 days. Dahlia is a great host and so super responsive if you have any inquiries. I took the insurance option and believe me it is a waste of money. The apartment is exactly as described, it fact its a fantastic place, even more than what you need is provided- and its quality stuff. It really is close to the Metro and with the No. 7 train so easy to access the shopping & the sights in Manhatten without having to pay the Manhatten price tag. Superb kitchen although we did not use it much, apt is light and airy with high ceilings, beds & pillows are very comfortable, so important to enable us to get a good nights sleep. My son also commented on how nice the sofa bed was to sleep in unlike many places. Has all the comforts of home and free internet as well. It would be nice if the internet was a faster service as the kids are always playing games but it was free so how can you complain. Excellent laundry facilities as well and the 2 full toilet & bathrooms are great. Nice Italian Pizza place at Bella Via and also a trendy gastro bar - "Alobar" all within very short walk. Also as recomended by Dahlia " Sweet Leaf" now these people treat coffee seriously - Real espresso coffee and fresh pastries.Would definitely stay there again.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, families with young children.

  Owner response: Delighted that we could accommodate a family vacation and make it a memorable one for you. I take pleasure in seeing my guests comfortable, offering quality products that make a vacation relaxing.

  We have rented from Dahlia several times for business in the city, and would highly recommend this stylish flat. It's only 15 minutes to Manhattan! The restaurants in the neighborhood are excellent.

  We stayed here with another couple this past week and had the vacation of our lives. We are used to vacationing in tropical locales so this was a total change of venue for all of us. We couldn't have picked a better place. It was homey yet modern and was so easy to locate anything we needed. The windows, light, and view kept us from feeling cramped or boxed into a tiny place with a wall for a view that we would have had in the city. Our only wish was that we had gone when the weather was warmer to try out the great rooftop deck and pool. The gym we did try out and it was very well equipped. The store across the street and wine and spirit store just over from Food Cellar was a huge bonus. Since all of our basic needs were met and more, it was very easy to head out and explore New York. The directions to the subway were specific and clear and once we were there, in a few short minutes, it was a matter of a few more minutes to get to the city or to any other neighborhood we felt like checking out. What we hadn't anticipated was how much we would like the neighborhood of LIC. Two blocks to several excellent restaurants. There is a French restaurant right by the subway line that was amazing along with Alobar down Vernon Street a few blocks the other way. We started and ended our stay with the Alobar. The Corner Bistro was warm and very friendly and the LIC Bar had some great atmosphere. The best tips we received were from the reviews from this website, waiters, bartenders, and our tour guide. We went on a 9 hour tour two days after we arrived to give us an overall view and we took all sorts of suggestions from people we met. Yes, we did the carriage ride in Central Park, went all the way to Coney Island so we could touch the Atlantic Ocean(we are from the Pacific Ocean), took in the Jersey Boys on Broadway(super!) and just tromped through all the different neighborhoods in Manhatten, Brooklyn, and Queens. We also met scads of people on the subways who were SO helpful and friendly! The notion of New Yorkers being rude was thrown out the window. The end result is that we ate our way through New York, never experiencing a bad meal, met lots of wonderful people, saw countless sites, and always had a great place to unwind. Whew, this just made me tired recounting everything! We would all recommend this place without hesitation. The few times we needed some help, Dahlia was always very attentive. Thank you Dahlia!

  Owner response: Wow! What am informative and great response to our place and location. So happy to hear that the location and apt. was perfect for you and another couple. Thanks for sharing all the great locations for our guests to visit in the future. Warm Regards, Dahlia

  The apartment exceeded all the needs of five family members (two teenagers, parents, and a grandma) on a holiday adventure for our first trip to NYC. The bathrooms were very spacious, and the kitchen is larger than it appears in the pictures. We found the grocery (lots of hot food options for takeout or eat in) and pharmacy very convenient, and a wine store just a half block away. We felt safe and secure and quickly learned how to get around on the subway system. Several meals were consumed at the Italian Restaurant up the street (run by several men with the name Sal). The Christmas decorations in NYC were exceptional, and almost made up for the COLD weather (we are from Florida). When standing in line at Serendipity my daughter's glowing comments about the apartment drew several inquiries. My daughter thinks her mother is a genius when all it took was time reading VERY carefully all the reviews before booking. Dahlia was very generous in her patience with us (we changed the dates) but did it far in advance so there were no problems. What did family members like the most? The gym was very modern and spacious. The view of the outdoor terrace a few floors down allowed us to look at the snow. The sofa bed in the living room was firm. The morning sunrise (well on a couple of mornings anyway) was spectacular from the kitchen (Grandma enjoyed that while making pancakes in the morning). The internet was used by all. One of the highlights for me was the Rockefeller Art and Architecture tour (followed by Top of the Rock). Ice skating in Central Park and a carriage ride was fun. We did the 9/11 Memorial (go online to make reservation) and Statute Cruise of the Harbor (Statute of Liberty closed from Hurricane Sandy) one day. Indeed I would highly recommend this venue for families who want to have enough space to spread out but still be with one another.
