My husband and I recently stayed in this wonderful apartment. It was our first trip to NYC and our "home away from home" did not disappoint. The apartment was exactly as advertised, the pictures definitely did not lie! It is outfitted with everything you could possibly need, right down to the basic amenities like laundry and dish soaps, toilet paper, paper towels, coffee, tea and water. Considering the location, it is surprisingly quiet with a comfy bed so you can get a good night's sleep after sight-seeing all day. The kitchen is amazingly compact, functioning very well for any meals you want to prepare. You can easily walk to buy groceries; the store we went to was a 10 minute walk. When you don't feel like cooking, you will find everything from fine steakhouses to delicious pizza right in the neighbourhood.
The location of the suite is perfect. A 5 minute walk in one directions gets you to Grand Central Station and a walk in the other direction gets you to a couple of different subway stations in about the same time. We purchased a 7-day transit pass, it's really convenient and was all we needed to get everywhere we wanted to go. Not only did we explore the neighbourhoods and tourist "must sees" in Manhattan, we also went to Coney Island, Harlem for amateur night at the Apollo (best talent show ever) and Brooklyn for a Yankees Game. The 911 memorial and museum is a peaceful, respectfully bittersweet tribute that must not be missed.
The staff on the door of the building are informative, helpful, friendly (as we found everyone in NYC to be) and available 24/7. Malini was extremely easy to deal with. She responded quickly to any queries we had and provided helpful suggestions when asked.
There wasn't anything about our stay that we didn't enjoy and we can't wait to go back. When we do return, we will be sure to stay in Malini's suite because there is no need to look anywhere else!
