The situation is great - an easy walk to the major museums, Central Park and Midtown, and it's quiet. Also well connected to the subway at 59th Street 10 mins walk away. Efi and Dana are charming and helpful. However, it's a bit of a stretch to say it sleeps five. There is one double bed but the "double" sofa bed was too narrow for even our kids aged 12 and 14 to share and otherwise there is a folding cot bed and inflatable mattress which is pretty basic. For us, the real problem was that the WiFi is effectively non-existent, and the moment you get a connection you lose it, if you can get one at all, and then only by sitting as close to the window as possible. As freelances, who need to be connected even on holiday, this was a major problem. Efi said there had never been a problem before but we see from the comments that we are not the first to complain. They say they are changing the ISP. That apart, a pleasant place to stay, though far from cheap.
The apartment looks exactly as in the pictures. However there is a lot of ambient noise from the street, both in the front and back of the apartment. The wi-fi is so slow that it was not worth it to use it, and it was only available right next to the front window. After waiting, I could get my email, but no other websites or links. I ended up going to a cafe to use my Ipad. Also, there is no radio or music system, which for me was a disappointment. There should be more basic kitchen equipment (salad bowls, serving spoons, something sharp besides a pairing knife, decent pots and pans, maybe even better silverware....). There is a mouse trap in the kitchen, and sure enough, we saw a mouse. There was an unrepaired broken cupboard. With some attention to these issues, this could be a great place. As is, I won't be back.sg
First I would like o say that when the guest called us with his problems, they were approached immediately. Also the guest asked ask for his $100 cleaning fees back and he got it. Yes it is Manhattan, at the center of the Upper E Side and there is some noise, if you want all quite, don't choose apartment in busy Manhattan. We purchased many more kitchen basics even though we had many and called the cable company to fix the wifi. We made sure we closed any little hole and put more mouse trap, just incase. It is a great apartment and location is great. You can email us with any questions.
Nos encanto el departamento, es tal cual lo muestran las fotos. Los dueños Ari y Donna muy amables, lo unico malo que tengo para decir es que no habia lavarropas ni secarropas, lo demas excelente!!
Thank you for a short and to the point, nice review. The owner own a dry clean place that located at the bace of the biding and will do the laundry for you with a big discount rate.
L'appartement est très bien situé. Nous étions proches de la 5ième et 6ième avenue, du Central park et des grands musées (Musée d'art moderne (MOMA) et le Metropolitain). Les propriétaires sont très gentils et très disponibles. Les seuls petits ombres au tableau sont la petitesse de la salle de bain et un "bip" incessant qui provenait des feux de circulation situés non long de l'appartement.
We had a great time in NYC! The apartment was just perfect for us 4 girls, one big room where you can do everything, sleeping, living, cooking! The owners are really nice! There's everything you need for a vacation around the corner: restaurants, supermarket, liquid store, subway station, even a cinema... The neighborhood was safe also at night. The only thing is, that it could have been a little bit cleaner ;-) But I would definitely go there again!
Thanks for the review. We got a new cleaning lady and it is working very well now, the apartment is very clean.
Host response We are so sorry about it, we called "Time Warner", the cable company, they changed everything and promise it will work, but it is not. So we changing the cable company this Monday to "Verizon" that getting much better reviews.
