Great apartment

Best place I have stayed at in Manhattan. Very cute apartment, with full kitchen and a washer and dryer. Neighborhood is very quiet and conveniently located near Central Park and two subway lines. Owners are very nice and cooperative. Only negative is the couch and mattresses are very mushy and need to be replaced. Will rent again when visiting New York.
Owner response:Dear Jeff, thank you for your review. You are the first to have commented on the beds and sofa and we appreciate your input. We will address that situation right away. We are very pleased that you would like to return to our place when visiting New York.

Wonderful place to stay and a great layout for my family. The bonus was the full size washer and dryer right in the apartment, which is a rare find in NYC apartments and made our week's stay much easier. Quiet street, yet convenient to public transportation. Hope to stay here again when we return to NYC!

We spent 9 nights here during July 2011. Exactly as advertised and a wonderful location with subway, stores, central park and activities very close. Nice neighborhood that made us all feel welcome and comfortable.

My wife, mother-in-law, 3 year-old, and I stayed at Joe and Vera's in October 2010 for a week. This is a long overdue report on a very nice stay. Vera was extremely responsive to all my inquiries from the get-go. Their place is nicely appointed and conveniently located just a half block from Central Park and 2 playgrounds, and the subway. Grocery stores are nearby. Prior to arrival, Joe and Vera provide a very convenient mini-tour guide of the neighbourhood, including restaurant recommendations. We tried 3 and all were tremendous. We'll surely make this our NY home again. Thank you very much.

My husband, two boys (13yrs & 11 yrs) and myself stayed in this apartment for a week in September 2010 and cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone else wanting the perfect base to explore New York. The photos and description were accuarte and the apartment was very clean with every amenity you would need. Whilst not huge, there was plenty of space to unwind after a hectic day. The location was great (much easier to get to via subway than the upper eastside), with the nearest subway station only 1 block away and Central Park 1/2 block (we spent hours exploring the park and had a lovely picnic with supplies from Zabars Deli - a must if you love food and kitchen gadgets. My husband had to drag me out of the place after 1 1/2 hours!). The little local deli across the road was wonderful for getting supplies for a lovely, easy dinner and the Mexican & Italian restaurants around the corner were very reasonale and had great food. Several supermarkets within EASY walking distance. The apartment is in the area where You've Got Mail was filmed and Zabars features in the film too (you can tell I'm obsessed with it) - great to watch before you go over. The best part about renting this apartment however, was all of the helpful tips and local knowledge from Vera. Thank you so much for our rather lenghthy telephone conversation and all of the invaluable information (I clutched my Streetwise Manhattan map continuously for the whole week). By the end of the week, we felt like native New Yorkers and can't wait to return sometime.

My husband, our 2 teenage sons, and I stayed at this apartment the week before Christmas and had a great experience. Vera was extremely kind and accommodating both before and during our stay. The apartment was so much nicer than a hotel and we appreciated having a home away from home. The apartment was clean and comfortable and we loved having a kitchen, which allowed us to eat breakfast each day and a couple of dinners without having to go to restaurants. The laundry facilities in the apartment were a real help, too. The apartment's Upper West Side location is near to 2 subway stations, which made getting around the city easy, and we had no trouble finding a taxi to the airport on our departure day. Many restaurants (most of which offer take out and delivery), drug stores, and grocery stores are nearby and we found that New Yorkers are friendly and helpful. I have recommended this apartment to several friends and relatives. We had a wonderful time in this apartment and in NYC and would love to return soon.

Just spent five nights at Vera and Joe's on W 94th Street. We had a wonderful time and the apartment was just perfect for our family, very clean and comfortable. 15 year old son and 9 year old daughter were very happy in the bunk bed. So much nicer than staying in a hotel. Two separate bedrooms, living room and a nice little kitchen were just like in the photos. It was a great place to "come home" to after a busy day in the city. Lovely, quiet street. We slept with the windows open. Easy walk to two different subway lines and just steps from a great little market and restaurants in one direction and Central Park in the other. Location could not be better. Also Vera gave great suggestions for where to eat in the neighborhood. We would definitely stay there again!

It's not pig in a poke! :-) It's like on the photos and in the description. The apartman was very nice and comfortable and the neighborhood and the traffic is excellent. We received a guide from the owner, it was a great help. We tried most of the restaurants from the guide and we were very satisfied. So I can honestly say that I recommend this apartman to anybody who plan to visit NYC in the future.

This apartment was exactly as advertised, and Vera was absolutely wonderful to deal with. She sent us a little information package and the keys to the apartment a few weeks before our arrival date, and the instructions in the apartment for internet, phone, garbage, etc were great as well. Apartment is in a very safe area, and only a few blocks from a whole foods market, and the subway which is extremely convenient. The in-suite laundry was handy as well. There were four of us girls in our late 20's, early 30's, and we all had an absolute blast - the apartment felt like home. We had a little problem with the phone the first day or so, but Vera quickly responded to us via email on how to fix it and it worked immediately. She was so accomodating with our arrival and departure times (for storing our luggage) and the cleaning lady was also very sweet and worked around us on the last day (late flight). The best part of NYC hands down was the people - I think they are friendlier than Canadians, and Vera was definitely our first evidence of that. I would recommend this apartment to anyone, and have even given the info to a few of my friends who were thinking of a trip to NY. Thanks Vera, I may book the apartment again in the next year or two....we all had such a great time!

This apartment was perfect for our family of three for our week-long vacation. The location and neighborhood is outstanding. The apartment was so quiet, we slept with the windows open. Vera was responsive to emails and offered great neighborhood suggestions. The Sunday market on Columbus Ave, a block away, was a nice surprise. We hope to return to New York and would be delighted to stay in this apartment again.
