The price is reasonable and the location is great. The beds are not completely comfortable, but the feel of a home makes up for it. It is a different experience than staying at a hotel.

An unforgettable stay in the vibrant heart of Manhattan. The apartment instantly makes you feel like you’re living the true New York dream. The location is absolutely phenomenal—just a few steps from the Empire State Building, so close you can practically feel its iconic presence as soon as you walk outside. You’re also right near Macy’s Herald Square, the original flagship store—the one! For anyone who loves shopping, it’s a paradise just around the corner. The check‑in staff was wonderful, warm, and genuinely welcoming. The apartment may be small, but it’s beautifully arranged, stylish, and packed with every comfort you could need. And the cleanliness? Absolutely spotless. If you want to experience Manhattan at full intensity—lights, rhythm, convenience, and that irresistible city vibe—this place is the perfect home base.

Great stay! A couple blocks from Empire State and all the main sites in the city. In room heater made it so nice to set our own temperature during cold weather. Nice clean bathroom, kitchen with dishes, a pull out table all made this very convenient. On check out day we were able to store our luggage at the reception which was so helpful. Overall highly recommend this cute nyc apartment!! We stayed there with our kids and it was very safe and kid friendly.
