I absolutely loved staying in the apartment. It was beautiful, so spacious and comfortable - everything that I needed and more. The location of the apartment is excellent and the owner was very kind!!
Aug 15 2012Made my NYC experience so enjoyable!!
The process of finding a suitable apartment to rent was surprisingly easy. I made contact with the owner of the apartment prior to my arrival and arranged a time to move in.
Nov 12 2008The apartment was great and my room was wonderful. Lots of wardrobe space and with my own fridge too. I was there in winter and I couldn't have been warmer! The owner was wonderful and very friendly and made me feel very welcome. Easy access to subways and local restaurants and pubs are just on the corner. I couldn't have been happier [with the Upper West Side apartment]! This was the perfect choice for me.
All was perfect in the [New York] apartment! I had a very good relationship with the owners and the other roommate. The New York Habitat service was very efficient. Thank you
