Family trip

My brother, sister, and I drove up to stay at this home. Though we saw pictures of the view, they didn’t capture how awesome it really is!! The place was more than accommodating for the three of us. It was super close to anything we needed (grocery store, bars, restaurants, brunch spot lol), and a short UBer to NYC. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions we had. Definitely a place that we will see if is available any time we make a trip back to our old stomping grounds!

Buyer Beware

I can’t honestly rate this property/stay so I tried to give it just an average overall rating. On the day we were supposed to arrive we got a call from the property owner stating that they had to cancel our reservation due to a family emergency. I trust his reasons but didn’t trust his comment that, “we never do this” because there is another review May 31, 2021 where the owner did the same thing. It’s probably a lovely property but it sure creates a hardship to have your reservation canceled the day you are expected to arrive. It doesn’t seem right that I can’t cancel suddenly but the property owner can. There should be some contractual obligation in place that protects the consumer. If you decide to reserve this property have a back up plan.

Horrible experience

The owner cancelled when we arrived at the property. We flew in from across the U.S. with our family and close friends, 4 adults and 6 children. We were supposed to stay for 1 week. The owner would not answer any of my calls and never sent me an email letting me know he was canceling. Two hours after we arrived at the property, he finally called. He asked us to keep our children quiet because his father could hear them outside. Thank goodness for VRBO customer service, they helped us get a hotel.

Peter and his team were super easy to work with and helpful any time I had a question. Pictures are accurate so what you see is what you get. Staircase going down to bedrooms is very tight so if you have a mobility issue or older family members might not be best. Other than that everything was great

Cozy Apartment!

We stayed in this location during a recent visit to NY - The apartment is really cozy and clean. The view of the Empire State building was breathtaking and inspiring. I would have given this a four-star review was it not for those awkward narrow spiral staircases that were so hard to maneuver even for the average size teenager and we had two of them. These set of stairs where I slipped a few times the night of our arrival, discouraged my husband and me from going downstairs for our entire stay to where all the bedrooms are located. Thus, we ended up leaving all our belongings upstairs and slept on the couch since there was a bathroom on the first floor. Since our visit was in the winter- the climate of the apartment was difficult to control due to the structure being older and thin-walled to noises. So, we had to request a space heater for one of the downstairs' room to keep it warm. Moreover, right at the gate adjacent to the parking, several garbage containers are kept where rats and a skunk was roaming around several nights. Additionally, this place is not in NY and it is not in walking distance to Times Square- it is in boundary line of NJ right outside of NY. Therefore, transportation from LGA to the location via a cab ride is over $100 and each rideshare is over $35 to Broadway and over $40 back. Then, this location charges for $20 per night if you have a car. Thus, we had a rental car that costs over $200 per day to negotiate between toll, parking in NY, rental cost and parking in the apartment. The owner was responsive and inquire about our stay - he did provide us with a space heater around midnight the night after our arrival when he found out that one of the rooms was still cold. Economically speaking, this is not a good deal if you are visiting NY, stay in NY and even if you pay $400 per night a hotel near Times Square and close to the theater district and food/restaurants at walking distance- it is a much better deal and fewer hassles than being outside of NY.

Amazing view

Great location and the 24 hour bakery across the street was a delight. The apartment could use a few updates, put a dresser in the other two rooms as there’s no closets for your clothes. Update the information book s there’s no laundry room on the property. The spiral staircase is a challenge and should be explained better on the sight. A vacuum would be helpful for those occasional messes. Peter and staff were awesome , they answered all questions and were very helpful as we were newbies to NYC.

bella vista, casa con pochi servizi

posso dire che il proprietario molto disponibile, in questa casa ci sono lati positivi e negativi. di positivo c'è la vista-servizio internet-le stanze e la sala con cucina-il bus che si collega al centro. Di negativo c'e l'ingresso per casa ( sembra di entrare in un container ) non ci sono armadi nelle stanze per depositare i vestiti-non c'e una lavatrice per lavare alcuni indumenti.

We flew out from Colorado with our other 3 children to pick up my son from his two year church mission in NJ. The appartment was a wonderful place to reconnect as a family and tour NYC. It had everything we needed and the parking space was a plus. Oh... and the view of NYC skylune is everything Peter advertizes and more! Truely amazing! Thanks Peter!

Super View - Great Property

We stayed at Peter's place to visit our son and attend the Vikings / Jet's game. Really impressive property. The view is actually as you see on the VRBO site. We did alot of cooking in the kitchen and I had everything I needed for basic meals. Also, it was in very good shape. As for groceries, Trader Joes is down the hill. Access to NYC was the 123 bus about a 1/2 block away. The only thing I would say is the stairs downstairs are tight. It is a circular stair, which I am used to as we have one in our vacation home. But, it could be problematic for people with mobility problems. *** if you don't have mobility problems don't let this dissuade you - this is a nice property. Best, Paul

Amazing city views

Despite getting to New York City late due to airline cancellations, our place was large and was able to hold our group of 9 very well. Matt was readily available for any of our needs and even provided a lovely hamper when most of the party missed a couple of our days there. We enjoyed what time we had and the instructions re public transport and amenities were good. The air conditioners were most appreciated as it it hot and humid at this time in NYC.

Gorgeous view, clean and spacious rooms with a luxurious feel

The view from the balcony was absolutely stunning, you can't get that kind of view anywhere else! The employees there were very attentive to our needs, and whenever we needed something, they came right away. The location is perfect, relative to the bus stops and local transportation services. Jehyson, our driver, was very informative and was quite literally, a phone call away. The beds in the rooms were extremely comfortable and had a very 'homey' feel. The kitchen was great, it was fairly large with a nice spice collection and a water-stocked refrigerator. It was truly a great place, with friendly people, and I would definitely return.
