We had our annual girl's getaway in Manhattan this year. It is nestled in a quiet neighborhood. The home was perfect for us! It is nicely decorated and the bathrooms are updated. The kitchen is well stocked and has lots of space. The beds were comfortable. This home is close to shopping and restaurants. I hosted a wedding shower for my future daughter in law and the layout and space was perfect for the occasion. I highly recommend this home!! I definitely would stay here again.
