My 20 year old daughter and I live in California and wanted to get a real taste of NYC and we did with so much more!!
Equipped with its own fire escape stairs in which we sat and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the street; we absolutely loved this neighborhood!! We even dared to go to the rooftop and WOW the views!! The location is prime and the apartment itself was everything we expected and more! The listing description was accurate, the apartment was well kept and clean. I was skeptical about the sheets and room accommodations and found myself very very pleased. We slept like babies:) I almost booked our stay at the Soho Grand Hotel but as nice as that would of been, I am so happy we chose this apartment! Soho, Greenwich Village, little Italy are within walking distance. The statue of Liberty, Battery Park, 9/11Memorial are a cab ride away without the hustle and bustle of Time Square where we have traditionally stayed in the past. It was warm during our stay and the air conditioning worked perfectly! I am happy it was located on the first floor because for us, two sets of narrow stairs with luggage was all we wanted to deal with!:)
I loved that this neighborhood was happening in the day and evening but yet it was quiet and relaxing. It had the perfect blend of restaurants and coffee shops nearby. I have to admit I had a list of acclaimed restaurants to visit but found ourselves very happy with the local options instead. Mary's Fish Camp has the best Lobster roll for lunch, Extra Virgin Restaurant down the block was perfect for dinner, they have outdoor candlelight seating; very romantic, service was great and I strongly recommend the chilean sea bass or mushroom crusted chicken with risotto. They also had a good wine selection! We had breakfast at Bosie Tea Parlor, they have a large assortment of teas and great lattes- I recommend the Bosie Tea Service. So quaint!
I have nothing but great reviews about Thomas. He was a true gentleman!! He was professional, easy to communicate with, very prompt to reply to my many questions and very detailed with check-in/check-out and all the little details in between. I was an event coordinator for years and recommended VRBO based on colleagues experiences but had never used their services personally AND it is so refreshing to see the care and commitment to good service Thomas displayed to us. We felt very welcomed and look forward to staying here again! Thank you!
