Nice Retreat
Submitted: April 4, 2011
Stayed: March 2011
After much research, and many concerns about renting an apartment in NYC, we decided to take the chance and pay half of the total amount up front, sight unseen, based solely on the reviews on VRBO., I felt better once I spoke to Maria and we are so glad we did it. Took a few minutes to get keys from the guys at the resturant next door, paid them cash plus deposit and he took us upstairs and gave us the keys. Mikey came back later to program TV/cable. Both were very nice and Maria called us to make sure we had everything we needed. The studio was nicer than we expected, large space, clean, modern, full kitchen, fast elevator, plenty of linens, towels, pillows and blankets. Could not ask for more. Heat worked great, almost too good and but sofa sleepers were a little rough, my daughters ending up sleeping on the floor. Could have used a chair for empty space in the corner. Otherwise, could not have been happier. The location was good too, walk out the front door and you are in the middle of a lively bustling neighborhood with dozens of resturants within a few blocks. Subway stops are a solid 10 minute walk but not a problem. Apartment was very quiet too. We really enjoyed 7A for breakfast and my 16 year old daughter loved 2 Bros pizza at a dollar a slice. Maria called several times to make sure we did not need anything. deposit was refunded as promised. Would stay here again in a heart beat. Sorry Maria for turning off the gas by accident. Thanks for a great stay and would love to return sometimes.
