Midtown Manhattan Vacation Rental apartment

I stayed in Tamara's apartment for two weeks during May 09. I arrived to this apartment building to a friendly, welcoming and well mannered concierge/ doorman. My apartment was spotless and well maintained. I did not expect the minor amenities like shampoos, conditioners, soap and toilet paper to be in the apartment, but they were and very much appreciated as well! The kitchen was extremely well stocked with cooking amenities and was a lovely manageable but spacious size; not to mention the added convenience of a fridge, dishwasher, microwave and even a blender! The apartment was much bigger than the pictures displayed on the net and the view was just stunning both day and night. The apartment complex also had a gymnasium, lounge room for guests or just a relaxing afternoon and a roof top garden as well. There was the added convenience of having a laundry with a washer and dryer on every floor, plus an ATM and vending machine on the top floor. The building was very secure and having a 24hr doorman made you feel very safe. Tamara also provided internet, a computer and printer if needed, and free telephone calls within the USA, this was a big help. The doorman/ concierge provided excellent tips on where to go and where the nearest shops were located and how to get to places of interest to you. Times Square was a 10 -15 minute walk away and it was very safe to walk this distance, even late at night. This was my first time in New York City and having such beautiful accommodation along with the friendly staff that worked there definitely made this a “home away from home” for me. A hotel gets cleaned for you and this apartment literally took a whole 20 minutes maximum to clean yourself, if it needed it. I originally grappled with the idea of a hotel versus and apartment and I am so glad I did not stay in a hotel and chose Tamara’s apartment instead. I had privacy and everything that I needed at my fingertips in a beautiful location and the owner was available at all times, as well as the concierge, that is just great service. Also leading up to my vacation Tamara was available anytime I needed her, travelling on my own as a female, single international tourist this made me feel very safe and at home. Tamara’s apartment definitely was the right decision for me and I’d highly recommended her “apartment welcome homes” to anyone thinking about an apartment for their next vacation or business trip. It had everything a good home should have!
