Welcome to Big Apple Getaways

Wow- Oh Wow! Each and every time the door to the apartment swung open, we gasped. The stunningly, beautiful-view made our jaws drop and took our breath away. We looked at each other, we looked out the windows, and we were the luckiest tourists in New York City. Yet, that doesn't say it all.
Beyond the view, the apartment was extremely comfortable. The interior was straight forward and quiet with all the amenities we needed, good lighting, air conditioning, a television in each room, a comfortable bad and couch as well as a more than adequate kitchen and bathroom. I especially enjoyed the tall shower, B liked the internet access. Finally, there's the location. It simply doesn't get much better.
Our friends are begging us for your e-mail address.
We can't thank you enough for hosting us so efficiently.

I LOVE IT! What a great vacation home. You have added all the wonderful touches and conveniences. Thank you for sharing such a great place with us. Count us on your list of "regulars". It is so well decorated and appointed too!

Thank you so much, we had a great time. I would love to be able to do it again. Pete recommends the Amish Market (on 9th Avenue), and I loved the Brazilian “all you can eat” grill on the other side of the square on 49th Street. Just terrific, thanks again.

Wow! This place is spectacular! And right in the middle of everything. And a spectacular view. Can ya tell I am very impressed! I will take care of this place as if it were my own. My daughters and I are having a riot.
Thanks,

We had a wonderful stay in New York. You have a lovely apartment - what a view! We could see our son come down 9th Avenue from his apartment 6 blocks away. It was such a convenient location for a family visit, or a walk in Central Park - the trees were in bloom.
Thank you so much. We hope to be able to stay here again.

We had a great time in NYC. Location was wonderful and the view was exceptional. We paid the exact same price per night to stay at the Helmsley - Park Lane last year, and we had no kitchen and the bathtub
didn't drain. We probably paid for the rental by not having to eat every meal out all week.

Dear NY Getaway:
I'm writing to say how pleased I was--and that's an understatement--with every part of my stay at your apartment. Let me address its attributes in detail:
i) The price: As a frequent business visitor to NYC, I've stayed in various hotels around Midtown. Your price is cheaper than any rate I've had before, even with a business/group discount. In fact, my business colleagues stayed at the Westin Hotel 6 blocks away and my stay over 20 nights was almost
$2,000 less than their rate for the same period

ii) The accommodations : Seems like this is a no-brainer. Why would any one choose a small hotel room with only a bed and a chair over a full, 1-bedroom apartment with a real kitchen, living room, and desk? The apartment was comfortable, with plenty of space for both my personal and business needs. I
was able to hook up my computer to your dsl line thus letting me do a lot of work from the apartment. I had breakfast every day while I was there, thus further saving my business a significant amount of money on meals. The apartment was stocked with everything one needed, whether for a long stay or a short one--plenty of clean linen, kitchen tools, and other little things that made it seem like home. The building personnel were courteous and helpful. And after a long stay it was so convenient to be able to do
laundry right there in the building. Did I mention the 2 TV's and dvd players?

iii) The neighborhood: What could be better than staying 5 minutes from Times Square and all major theaters? The apartment was no more than 1 and one-half blocks from any subway I needed to take. The E/C stop 1/2 block away was incredibly convenient.

The area, known as Clinton (previously known as Hells Kitchen) offered any traveler every thing they could want in terms of restaurants, shopping, and night life. As in many neighborhoods in NYC, the array of moderately priced restaurants of all kinds of food was astonishing. Italian, Indian, Thai, Chinese, Brazilian, Middle Eastern, Asian fusion, sushi, Vietnamese, Greek, American, and continental restaurants, to name a few, were all within 4 blocks of the apartment, no matter which direction you walked.

Being near the theater district, many restaurants are open until 1 am and offer delicious pre fixe menus. And I was no more than 4 blocks away from the 2 theaters I attended for outstanding Broadway shows ("Wicked" and "Moving Out." With a Rite Aid on the corner and supermarkets no more than 2 blocks in either direction, I couldn't have stayed in a more convenient location. If any guest has time, they should take a walk between 9th and 10th Avenues between 44th and 50th Streets and just enjoy the unexpected pleasures--a cooperative garden; funky antique and jewelry shops; quiet restaurants with patios--that one can only discover on foot in NYC. Again, I can't say enough good things about the apartment and the location.

No detail in making it a comfortable place was overlooked. I look forward to my next trip to NYC and staying again at your apartment
Sincerely,
D.B.
