1- I had wished for apartment n°2 which faces the courtyard, because I expected the street would be noisy. And from apartment n°1 I saw that indeed it was. It's a shame.
Nov 02 20112- In a message dated July 2nd 2011, 7h40PM, M. Hervé Fresnoy informed me: « There is a deposit of 500 dollars (PLEASE NOTE that it can be paid in Euros in order to spare you the trouble of changing currencies twice). » However the owner demanded a deposit in dollars. So I ended up losing money twice because of the exchange rates, for nothing.
3- There was electrical heating, but because of habit, I prefer heating blankets. As soon as I made the request, the owner immediately provided me with a quilt. I really appreciated it and it was a definite strong point.
4- The access to the kitchen of the vacation rental and the welcome were very good.
New York Customer Service
The owner of the vacation rental made a mistake regarding the room when the client arrived. He realized his mistake by checking the reservation information and apologized for the inconvenience. He will check reservations more thoroughly in the future. This owner informed us that he does not take Euros for the guaranty deposit but he will soon take credit card payments.
Nov 07 2011Although it is easy to reach the city center via subway, the location of the apartment is somewhat far. The neighborhood is very peaceful. The owner was very nice and assisted us with everything we needed (explaining how to get around, providing us with equipment, etc.). Very professional.
Nov 02 2011The apartment is lovely, clean, the owners incredibly nice and helpful. Only downside is the location, it takes quite a lot to get to major touristic attractions. But subway is near and it runs 24/7.
