Thank you Veronica for a nice stay. Everything was prepared, the conditions were very good. Peace and quiet. That's what we wanted. After the loud sounds of New York, you could rest in the evening and regenerate before the next day. We hope to come back again :)

Great experience!

This property was great, the location was fantastic, it's an adorable little apartment and very clean. The property manager was wonderful, she always replied within 30 minutes and answered all my questions. I was a little nervous after I booked, I saw the reviews for VRBO were terrible, but this stay was very enjoyable and I would definitely recommend this property for your trip to NY.
