Ruth Nightingale from London, UK; April 2010:
'Nice little apartment in a really great location to get around. Good to have lots of natural light in a NY apartment.
All the basics that you need are there - except the corkscrew or bottle opener!'
Judith Ben David from bs. as. cap. fed., Argentina; April 2010:
'All was OK! The apartament is very confortable and nice and the town is kiu. The subway is near, only one blok. And there are many supermarkets very near. I hope come back any time more!!!! Thank you for all.'
Vanessa Lerma from San Diego, CA, United States; March 2010:
'My husband and I recently visited New York City for the first time and stayed in this adorable studio. The studio was clean and comfortable and had a lot of charm! The location was absolutely perfect. Central Park was two blocks away! The neighborhood was safe and had many restaurants and amenities nearby! We would definitely consider staying here again on our next visit!'
David Hebert from Montreal, Canada; January 2010:
'Very convenient location, less than a minute from the subway and ±5 minutes from Central Park. The unit is not very spacious so tenants should not expect to be doing much cooking in it. Maybe add a bit on everyday use tools such as a cork screw...'
Sabrina Hernandez from Saint-Martin, ; December 2009:
'Logement conforme à la description, emplacement géographique idéal (1 station de métro de times square), et à côté de Central park. Restaurants et épiceries à proximité (ouvertes la nuit). Les plus ; lit très confortable, télé, internet, ascenseur. Les moins : seulement deux grandes serviettes de toilettes à disposition pour 7 jours, salle d'eau un peu étroite.
Mais globalement, c'est une bonne adresse à recommander !'
Thom from PA, USA; November 2009:
'The coffee maker is not in the best shape.
The apartment is in a great location and very clean.'
Carol Hunter from San Diego, USA; November 2009:
'Since you have chosen NOT to supply more than one roll of toilet paper for a week, tissues, paper towels, a dishrag in the kitchen for wiping down the counter and washing glassware, as well as furnishing only one wash rag and hand towel for 2 people, you should post this on your website. That way people are prepared for what they need to bring or buy.
Couples should also know that only one set of keys is available. We were told we could go to a hardware store and purchase another set of keys. I was also told the day after checking in, that when the owners are in town, one set of keys is sufficient. That may work for you, but you are hosts and we are guests. Customer service often requires accommodating people who don't share your habits.
The location is excellent.'
Andreas Grunwald from Stuttgart, Germany; September 2009:
'Very nice little apartement. Only one minute to 72th Street Subway, only 5 minutes to the Park.
Michael and Christina, who rent the apartement, are very nice persons. Recommendable!!!'
Caroline from Toronto, Canada; July 2009:
'The location couldn't be better - super convenient for subway, Central Park, nice walk home from Lincoln Centre after an evening performance, great neighbourhood. I stayed here with my teenage daughter so all the above aspects were much appreciated as well as the quiet building and clean apartment. It was also very helpful to be able to make arrangements to store luggage nearby on departure day. Michael is very helpful and quick to respond to any queries and I found all communication and booking arrangements were handled very well, despite my initial ineptitude with PayPal!'
druh ireland from Lions Bay, Canada; June 2009:
'the bed is good. the kitchen is adequate, i'm wondering if people don't cook in NY... the building is old and shabby, some might call it charming... location is good, as is the neighborhood'
Dave Bell from Sydney, Australia; June 2009:
'The apartment had a perfect location right near the subway, central park, and walking distance to times square, also plenty of supermarkets and restaurants around.
Apartment was nice and clean, and a good size for one or two people. Had a great stay'
Jody from San Francisco, USA; May 2009:
'Nice bedroom with views of rooftops, comfortable bed. Brita filtered waiting in the fridge a nice touch. Great neighborhood and two steps from the subway.'
John Ley from Sydney, Australia; May 2009:
'The location was excellent near 72nd St subway and Central Park. The kitchen needed to have more cutlery and utensils for cooking. We felt the apartment was overpriced but perhaps this is normal for the city.'
Lorena Hansen from Muinch, Germany; May 2009:
'Very nice apartment. Great that everything is so close: the subway, central park and even timesquare is reachable on foot. '
ellen biderman from Santa fe, USA; January 2009:
'The apartment is perfectly located, but priced above other listing on VRBO for the same size accomodation. The bathroom sink didn't work and many many cable TV stations (most importantly to us, CNN) were not functioning. We called the number given on the TV and they said a digital connection was missing.'
wieke van dijk from amsterdam, NL; December 2008:
'Loved our stay in this apartment!
The neigbourhood was very pleasant, as well as the connection to the subway and the park this close to the building. Everything is very clean and the owners were very nice and helpful. The room was not very big but I'm sure NY standards are different to what we are used to.
Definately a good place to stay!!'
Bryanne Moore from Chester, NH, USA; November 2008:
'The apartment was very clean and very easy to find. The check in process went smoothly. We loved the neighborhood feel of the area and the fact that there was a subway station right around the corner, as well as a Starbucks and many little stores. We stayed for 2 nights and would definitely come back again! Thanks for a great experience!'
Richard knights from Leeds, UK; November 2008:
'Great appartment and fantastic location. Throughly enjoyed my stay. Hopefully repeat the experience again next year!'
Barbara Znidarsic from Edmonton, Canada; November 2008:
'The apartment was nice, however its condition was a little more run down than I had anticipated from the pictures. Unfortunately the paint had been damaged in the bathroom on the ceiling just before we got there, but that wasn't a problem. It would be better if the blinds were dark, as the white ones let a lot of light in in the morning. The bed was very comfortable. The outlet in the bathroom didn't work. The area was great, very nice, close to Central Park and the subway.'
Bob and Margie Marvin from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; October 2008:
'Thank you for a wonderful week in NY city! The location of your apartment was fantastic with the subway around the corner and great deli shops at every corner. Thanks for your prompt attention to the burnt out light and the missing hand soap. Thanks also for the grapefruit and the flowers...a very nice touch. A couple of suggestions: Hand towels would be good and a perhaps a change of bath towels mid week. Just a note of interest to other visitors...there is a great bike rental shop within walking distance of the apartment (Togo Bike Shop on 64th Street and West End Road). We rode all around Manhattan and Central Park.'
sandle dahl from seattle, USA; October 2008:
'We had a great stay, the location was perfect. Would recommend at least 3 kitchen towels, 4 bath towels and at least 2 washcloths for a 5-7 day stay. Salt and pepper would have been nice also plus a roll of paper towels. The TV and Bose were quite nice. Thank-you .Sandle and Mark Dahl '
Christian W. from Nittel, Germany; October 2008:
'We had a great time in NY. The appartment is perfectly situated. The new check-in process is also very convenient. Last but not least we really appreciated Micheals help with all our questions. Thanks! Nato and Chris'
marcelo mascheroni from mexico city, mexico; October 2008:
'great location, clean, very good deal!'
Angela Reader from Hamburg, Germany; September 2008:
'We loved the location and felt really at home on the Upper West Side. The Express Metro means you can get down town in no time at all. The apartment is only 2 blocks from Central Park so if you feel like adding another 8 km to your walking day it’s great for joggers etc. The apartment itself is very bright and quiet. It's in an old building and could do with some restoration. We stayed for 10 nights so a change of towels and bedding would have been appreciated. However, I’m sure that if we had asked Michael and Cristina would have provided them. They are very helpful and always just an e-mail away :o) We can’t wait to get back to NYC and will definitely check out one of Michael & Cristina’s apartments again.'
