Home Away From Home...
Review Submitted: June 30, 2009
Date of Stay: June 2009
We are from Santa Fe, New Mexico. We were coming to Manhattan on business/pleasure trip and had to book a week in Manhattan. I swear I looked for a month and a half for a reasonably priced, clean, fresh place that had a warm feeling. I took a look at this property and called the owner. She took the time to explain the area, how to navigate the details of the trip to work for us and that we could be in Manhattan by ferry every half hour, free of charge and be on our way in Manhattan via subway to anywhere we needed to go. I was traveling with my husband and two teen daughters. We arrived to a really charming atmosphere. Professionally decorated, with alot of details considered to make the stay more of a home atmosphere. We walked to the ferry, the market, pizza place, morning donut shop, people were super friendly and Manhattan was amazing. The value of this property for what you recieve is beyond a great deal. I have not stopped talking about our new NYC "hook-up" to all our family and friends. We rented the one bedroom but there is a connecting door to another larger unit to allow for larger parties, so keep that in mind in your considerations. Bring good walking shoes, an unbrella and camera. There is a kitchenette to allow for small meals. We walked to the laundromat, we came home late at night and walked home from the ferry if weather allowed and if not the bus dropped us at the front door. We appreciated the well lit atmosphere outside, and seeing the Statue of Liberty outside the living room window was super cool. The owner was always available, communicated the details in a very clear manner so directions went smoothly, everything in the property was fabulous, I give this property the highest rating and I am a real estate broker. All the attractions are in practical access of this properties location. I just asked my husband was there anyhting you disliked? He said without hesitation..NO, there was NOTHING I did not like. That says it all..we will be back and you should go..you will have a great time and on a reasonable budget. Sincerely, M & S Valdez - Santa Fe, New Mexico
