I have really enjoyed the property as well as the owner's commitment. The penthouse is perfect for a couple with 1 o two sons or even two couples. We were 4 people (2 couples) and we really enjoyed the staying there.
We strongly recommend this appartment.
Owner's Response: It is our pleasure to welcome guests to the city we love. Thanks for your kind comments, We hope to see you again soon.
Best regards, Mary

Great Stay

Review Submitted: October 8, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Our experience in NYC was delightful, despite the intermittent rain and fog. The views were incredible, and it was wonderful just to gaze out the windows or have coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening on the small terrace.

The apartment was slightly smaller than it appears in the pictures, but it lived up to our expectationsin every way. Our contact was there to meet us as scheduled, the people at the front desk were very friendly and courteous, and the roof deck offered spectacular views as well. The location was good for us as we love walking in NYC and were able to reach all our desitnations, including a great street fair, on foot. I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone who would like to experience New York City more as a native than a tourist.

big experience. The apartment has everything you like for a pleasant stay. Pretty good interior set up with love and a remarkable good taste. By the way: Look at that view!!!

Noch was in Deutsch: Das Apartment können wir sehr empfehlen. Die Fotos erwecken genau den Eindruck, den man vor Ort vorfindet. Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt. Der Service ist perfekt. Wenn man was braucht, kann man Ayaka anrufen, die gern und gut hilft.

Owner's Response: Vielen Dank für Ihre warme Anmerkung. Ich freue mich darauf, Sie wieder in der Zukunft zu sehen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Ayaka

My wife and I stayed in this apartment during the first week in February 2009, and really enjoyed our stay. The apartment feels like home. The owner has thoughtfully left everything you need in the apartment, including kitchen utensils and even a toolbox in case you need it. We are keen walkers, and the location is great - only 15-20 minutes to the Times Square and Broadway, and there are lots of restaurants and grocery shops nearby. The most memorable aspect of the apartment is its panoramic views of downtown Manhattan. Spectacular!

Great for restaurants and theatre

Review Submitted: February 3, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
When we enquired at short notice, a larger apartment in the same building was offered (with photos) for the same price. The apartment was precisely as described and depicted in the photos. Great view, beautiful new kitchen and appliances (with enough cups/glasses/plates - often an issue!!), new large washing machine & dryer (separate units, hidden neatly in a cupboard), and spare pillows/linen/doonas etc in the cupboards should we need them.
The owner's rep was there as promised to let us in and show us the apartment, and she was extremely friendly, helpful and on the ball. The welcome book with restaurant recommendations etc was homely and friendly, a nice touch. We had no problems during our stay.
Great location, especially if you are planning on seeing lots of Broadway theatre, the walk is easy (about 15-20mins). Loads of good restaurants (of varied cuisines and prices) in the area, especially on 9th Ave.
Only very slight negative is that it is not very close to a subway station - 2 avenue blocks and 2 street blocks (to 50th & 8th) - however that is just us being lazy!
Highly recommended.

My fiance and I stayed here for 4 nights in mid December to see the big apple at Christmas time. The property is very accurately described by the owners. Very nice accommodations in the kitchen and bathroom. If you stay in this unit for a few days and plan on grocery shopping, be sure to take the D'agustino's card in the kitchen drawer, it will save you 25-40%. We wished the bathroom had an exhaust fan. Also the bedroom is pretty small with no TV, or fan, and one small dresser. Also, there was something weird about the air/heater in the bedroom, causing our throats to dry out every night.
We loved the location, it was about 15 min walk to Times Square, and 2 blocks to the nearest subway. It also has an excellent view of the city.

My husband and I visited the Big Apple for the first time, and this lovely penthouse made it the perfect stay. We felt very, very safe. It is close to everything you want to see. The views are incredible. Pictures do not do the apartment justice. The owners could not have more welcoming. The place was spotless and very well decorated. We are already planning to come back and bring our daughters. Thank you for just a fantastic place to stay!

great stay in NYC

Review Submitted: October 10, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
We enjoyed EVERYTHING about this penthouse! Fantastic location: walk to Time Square and theatre district and Central park; plus very convenient to buses and subway! We got a 7 day transit pass our first day in NYC and it was the best $25.00 we spent taking us from the southern tip of Manhattan to upper Harlem on both the subway and metro! We only needed to take taxis a couple times.
The view from the condo is incredible, panoramic since it is a corner unit. It was spotless and fully equipped. Wireless internet and flat rate phone calls enabled us to touch base with home. The ONLY thing we regret, is we weren't able to spend enough time there, since we were on the go constantly. We sure enjoyed a hot bath after walking all day and a comfortable place to relax and have happy hour before heading out to the shows at night.
Yes, we highly recommend this as your favorite place to stay at in Manhattan. And we will return!
ps, we were met by the owner's son, nice guy & very helpful!!
