4 aussies trip of a lifetime

This apartment was perfect in everyway. Located just blocks from everything you need...subway, restaurants, cafes, laundry, cinemas, central park and the best deli in the entire universe ZABARS, awesome! Check out St. James Gate (pub/restaurant) on 81st & Amsterdam for the best chicken pot pie...lovely:) Photos are an exact depiction of how the apartment looks and was clean and the owner fantastic, very helpful in everyway. The street is gorgeous, tree lined and quiet. I would recommend this apartment as it is excellent value and beats the high costs of a mundane everyday hotel.

Perfect apartment for an Aussie family of 5!

The location of this apartment cannot be beaten, it's close to Zabars Deli to pick up some beautiful food; close to plenty of laundromats to do washing (if you need!), only 2 blocks from the subway on the corner of 79th & Broadway or 2 blocks to Central Park, and the Subway there. We loved having a nice quiet home base to stay, even on Saturday night it was quiet, just a residential neighbourhood that made us feel like real New Yorkers! All the instructions were very clear for the keys and payment of the balance, and Anthony was very easy to deal with. We would not hesitate to stay here again, and would highly recommend it.

abbiamo trascorso una settimana durante le vacanze pasquali. Ottima posizione, quartiere tranquillo ben servito da negozi e mezzi di trasporto. Ottima disposizione stanze ma lascia a desiderare la pulizia dei locali, soprattutto del bagno e il rumore dei condizionatori esterni nelle stanze da letto.

This apartment exceded all our expectations and made our trip to NYC unforgettable. When traveling with 3 young children extra beds and rooms are priceless!! We all slept great at night. It is a nice quiet residental neighborhood where we felt safe to explore. The apartment was very clean and functional. A quick walk to the subway. We would definately stay here again and recommend to friends.

Perfect Place

Guest: AK (Festus, Missouri)
Date of Stay: 11/23/10 Review Submitted: 12/08/10

This apartment was the perfect place for our Thanksgiving visit to NYC. We were almost equidistant between (about an avenue and 1/2) between the stops for the subway that runs down Broadway to Time Square etc. and the one that runs along the west side of the Park. Convenient buses available also. It was clean,comfortable and efficiently furnished, including sufficient cookware,etc. for simple meals. A short walk to Zabar's for groceries or H&H Bagels for a fresh breakfast bagel. Good restaurants all around within easy walking distance (by NYC standards), not to mention Insomnia Cookies on Amsterdam. Seriously doubt that we could have found a more convenient location or comfortable living quarters. When we visit family in NYC again, we will be checking out the availability of this property.

My husband and I came from San Francisco to meet our Temple Univ. daughter in NYC last week. The apartment was perfect! We saw the parade balloons being blown up Wed. night, about one block away. Then the next morning walked two blocks to watch the Thanksgiving Day Macy's parade. It was fantastic! The apt is in a perfect location for Central Park, subways, and restaurants. We walked from 31st/9th all the way to our 80th st apt with gusto~so much to see, so much to do~ Thanks Tony & Elaine for making this our best Thanksgiving ever! Linda Jim & Sarah

We stayed here in October and had a wonderful time. The apartment was clean and attractively decorated. Beds were comfortable and Tony was very accomodating in getting us extra towels. The location is great! I would stay here again and would recommend it highly. Thanks for a great experience! Joan

At Home on the Upper West Side

Guest: Rock (Delaware, Ohio)
Date of Stay: 10/14/10 Review Submitted: 11/10/10

The apartment is immaculate, convenient and nicely furnished. It is less than two blocks from the Subway, from Central Park, and from a collection of diverse and very good restaurants. We had only two nights and wished for more. It is the ultimate setting for a New York experience. We hope to make this our new home away from home during visits to New York.

Renter Oct 2010

Guest: Margaret (Los Angeles, CA)
Date of Stay: 10/04/10 Review Submitted: 11/01/10

As a NYer, visiting from Los Angeles, I found the place to be well laid out and spacious enough for the four of us (2 adults & 2 kids under age 4). Easy to get to subway, as well as, other fun sights for the kids (CMOM & NHM). Clean and well kept up. Beds are squeaky, but for a few nights it's ok. Neighborhood was quiet at night and safety was not a concern.

Wonderful family vacation in NYC

Date of Stay: 09/24/10 Review Submitted: 10/12/10

My husband and I stayed here with our 2 year-old daughter, and we couldn't have asked for a better "home base" from which to explore NYC. Anthony and Elaine were very accomodating and even provided a pack-n-play for our daughter. The apartment was clean and well-maintained (the pictures really don't do it justice!), and actually exceeded my expectations. (There is a fairly steep flight of stairs you must navigate to enter the apartment, so if you are disabled it's something to consider. We had no trouble getting our stroller up and down them.) The neighborhood was quiet and the location was perfect...close to the Children's Museum of Manhattan, Central Park, Museum of Natural History, the subway, and lots of family-friendly restaurants and shops. Don't miss dining at Sarabeth's right around the corner. Lots of hidden gems in this neighborhood...I can't wait to come back! Thanks for a wonderful, memorable vacation.

This place was the perfect place to stay. Very clean and comfortable for four women traveling together. Very nearby activities, attractions and restaurants. Tony was a wonderful host and was happy to answer questions we had. The apartment is also very close to the subway, which is very helpful. It is a safe area. I will be staying there again! I would recommend this to anyone traveling to New York. It would work great for a family too! Thanks again for the great experience~

We loved our stay here. We traveled from San Diego with 2 kids (age 4 and 10) and this was better than perfect for us. The owner was professional, the place was immaculate and the location was exceptional. We hope to come back soon!

We found the apartment to be a great place to stay. It is located in a great neighbourhood (close to Central Park and a lot of great restuarants). We had 4 adults staying in the apartment and the size was good. We would stay here again!

Great location, clean and well-maintained

Guest: MikeSF (SF, CA)
Date of Stay: 10/03/09 Review Submitted: 10/13/09

This apartment is in a great location -- within a 5 min walk of three different subway lines as well as central park and some great bars/restaurants. There's also wash & fold laundry service a block away for less than $1 a pound! Typical small NY apartment, but definitely large enough for 5 adults. The apartment was clean, well-maintained, and provided all of the amenities of an apartment you'd want -- tons of towels, satellite TV, high speed internet, kitchen with good stock of utensils. Definitely recommend this place.

Thank you very much for the use of your apartment. My family of four had a wonderful time in the city. It was very nice at the end of a long day of site seeing to come back to our "home" as opposed to a hotel room. The apartment had everything we needed to feel comfortable. We saved a little money by preparing some meals in the kitchen but certainly took advatage of the the nearby places to eat. We also took advantage of the nearby subway stations to conveniently get around the city. We would defintely stay here agian.
