Rules
Please treat our home like you would hope guests would treat your home. We use AirBnB extensively because we think it creates a win-win situation where the guest gets a great value for the money they pay and the owner renter in our case) makes some money to pay expenses of the house. No smoking (go to the rooftop or down to the first floor) No pets please. I encourage you to enjoy our space, but please be respectful of neighbours.

Great location, flat and value. Highly recommend this flat which is perfectly located in mid town, the flat is very clean and spacious. All major attractions in mid-town are walking distance and groceries/restaurants/bars are steps away
Jun 27, 2019Great place to stay! Clean, great amenities, very good location.
Jun 27, 2019Super séjour chez Aquil ! Hôte génial attentioné. L'appartement est super bien placé et très agréable avec le rooftop en plus ! Il a vraiment été un hôte disponible et compréhensif. Je recommande pour un séjour à New York !
Jun 27, 2019Aquil-Li and his wife were excellent hosts. The place was perfect and as described. Absolutely no complaints. The location made the deal even sweeter. Definitely looking forward to staying here again.
Jun 27, 2019We had a great stay at Aquil-Li and Laura's place. Fantastic location, spacious and clean apartment, roof deck was a nice bonus! Other things we really enjoyed about their apt.: room for all 3 of us to sit at dining table together to eat/talk...a rarity in NYC apartments. The dual-entry bathroom made it easy for anyone to use toilet during the night, without disturbing sleepers in the adjoining room. The kitchen has that quick-steam, plug-in teapot which was great. The views are very NYC. And that "Ess-a-Bagel" place a block away is fantastic!......every kind of bagel and cream cheese and sandwich you could imagine. Two of us stayed two nights and there were three of us for one night...and we were plenty comfortable. We would suggest some more & larger towels (just one hand towel and we didn't find washcloths anywhere) and more bedding. There was only a fitted undersheet (on mattress) and then an ultra warm duvet/comforter on main bed. The same on couch bed. Duvet was too warm of a cover for us, a regular cover sheet or lighter blanket as cover would've been more hotel-like/normal.
Jun 27, 2019Aquil and Laura were very welcoming and made our stay that much better. The place was clean and as described. The location was great with access to subway system for easy access to the whole city. Would highly recommend and would stay again if the oppurtunity comes about.
Jun 27, 2019Our experience with Aquil-Li and Laura was wonderful! They were very attentive and kept good contact leading up to our stay and during our stay. Thank you both so much for ensuring we were comfortable and didn't have any questions! Your apartment was lovely and we were very comfortable!!! The apartment is in a great location and easy walk to most things we were interested in doing. There are a lot of great restaurant choices nearby. The apartment was very clean and had everything my husband and two teenage girls needed to be comfortable. Thank you for an amazing place to stay!
Jun 27, 2019Staying at Aquil-Li and Laura's apartment was a joy for all four of us. It really felt great to be in the neighborhood and the surrounding stores and restaurants really made for a wonderful experience. We arrived on the eve of the big snow storm of January 2016 and the setting made for a cozy environment for all of us. The storm kept us indoors more than we had expected, but the apartment made it a pleasure. We are so glad to have stumbled onto such a nice place. Aqui-Li and Laura kept in good contact with us and provided us with great recommendations. We hope to return!
Jun 27, 2019Your apartment was great for our family and exactly as described and as in pictures. We felt like "in home" .The bed and couch were comfortable. everything was very clean. The big table was excellent for meals and playing cards. The location is great, nearby everything we need, with excellent restaurants and supermarket. Not far from most of the attractions of NYC and close to the subway. Aquil - Li and Laura were very kind, excellent hosts. Laura was always in contact, and asked several times if everything was fine with us. We, also, felt safe in this apartment with doorman presence 24 h/day. All the doormen were very sympathetic and helpful. This apartment was a contribute for our unforgettable holidays in NYC. We recommend it to all. Thank you Aquil-Li and Laura!

Jun 27, 2019Everything was absolutely as listed and perfect. Very nice and clean. A perfect location in the city!
Jun 27, 2019My husband, my two children and I had a great stay here. The location is fantastic with close proximity to the subway and lots of restaraunts and eateries close by. We enjoyed walking up to 5th and to all the tourist attractions with the added bonus of catching the subway to those further away. The apartment gave my family of four (with an active boy) plenty of room to wind down after a day of walking around NYC. Quil and Laura were great hosts ready to give advice and friendly banter at all times.
Jun 27, 2019El departamento es mejor de lo que muestran las fotos ! El recibimiento fue extraordinario y la comunicación fue excelente, aunque casi no hizo falta porque funcionaba todo perfecto. La ubicación era ideal ya que estaba a una cuadra del metro y a no más de 10 minutos de las principales atracciones! Los porteros del edificio eran muy atentos y serviciales ! Pasamos unos excelentes días en su departamento ! Lo recomiendo 100% salvo cuando yo regrese ! Jajaja Juan The apartment was better than the photographs ! The reception was amazing they give us everything that we need for our journey and also the comunication ! The location was perfect , we have the train at one block and all the attractions in less than 10 minutes! The doormans were such a lovely and friendly people! We have excellent days in their house ! We recommend it 100% but only when I don't rent it !! Jajaja Juan !
Jun 27, 2019Wir haben den Aufenthalt in Lauras und Q. sehr genossen. Laura war sehr bemüht, dass alles bestens klappte und hat mehrmals nachgefragt. Die Wohnung ist liebevoll ausgestattet und bietet genügend Platz für vier Personen, die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und es gibt einen grossen Tisch, damit man auch in der Wohnung essen kann. Auch die Dachterrasse war super. Die Wohnung liegt in einer guten Umgebung mit Subway, Restaurants und Geschäften in nächster Nähe.
Jun 27, 2019It was so nice to have an easy check-in (the keys were with the doorman) and to walk into such a clean apartment with snacks welcoming us after a long day traveling! Aquil-Li texted the next day to make sure everything was going well for us which was very thoughtful. Great location, great apartment, and a wonderful host!
Jun 27, 2019Accueil tres chaleureux et attentionné. Nous nous sommes vraiment sentis à la maison. Quili et Laura sont vraiment très attachant ! L'appartement est superbe et parfaitement situé ! Merci !
Jun 27, 2019Apartamento muy bien ubicado, ideal para 4 personas, en un edificio con portero las 24 horas del día. Inquilinos muy atentos y preocupados por que nuestro viaje fuera perfecto. Recomendable 100%
Jul 27, 2019I really like this apartment; it is warm, personal and quiet. The owner was very nice and available. Everything was perfect.
Jun 27, 2019This apartment is great and exactly as advertised. Aquil-Li was very easy to communicate with and the ease of the apartment and its location made our stay in NYC a great one. Apartment was clean and had the all the ease of being at home while close to subway, restaurants and all that NYC and Manhattan has to offer. We won't hesitate to recommend it to our friends when talking about the trip.
Jun 27, 2019Logement parfait, très bien situé,calme. Appartement très bien équipé. Hôte très attentionné !
Jun 27, 2019Wonderful couple! Amazing hospitality! Not to mention the thoughtful touches. Aquil-Li constantly communicated with us, before we checked in until we checked out. Everything went smoothly, from the directions he gave us, to us getting the key when we arrived. Their apartment is very neat and tidy, in a nice, quiet area. It's also very close to public transportation. Everything was great overall.
Jun 27, 2019Excelente todo desde el comienzo. Aquil-Li no sólo respondió a todas mis preguntas inmediatamente , sino que también me brindó información necesaria antes de llegar al departamento. Es de destacar su amabilidad y predisposición para ayudar en todo momento. Siempre en contacto con nosotras. El departamento ( la distribución, el baño, la amplitud del living/comedor y dormitorio; muy cómodo para 4 personas) y la ubicación son inmejorables. Muy bueno el tema de que haya un portero en la entrada durante las 24 horas para dejar la llave, sobre todo si son varias personas las que se alojan. Definitivamente, lo recomiendo y volvería a alojarme sin dudarlo. Susana
Jun 27, 2019Very organized apartment Nice and comfortable beds Miró's memory game is fun!
Jun 27, 2019Q's place was amazing - clean, comfortable and conveniently located to everything. He was very easy to reach when we had questions and was able to give suggestions on local food places. Will definitely stay again if given the opportunity!
Jun 27, 2019Perfecto todo. Desde la ubicación, la veracidad, limpieza y atención. Destacar que en días tan fríos nunca lo sentimos dentro del apartamento. He utilizado airbnb en más de 15 ciudades alrededor del Mundo y sin dudas es una de las mejores experiencias. No pudimos conocer personalmente a Laura y Quili-li pero no faltará ocasión. Totalmente recomendable!
Jun 27, 2019I can honestly say this is one of the best Airbnbs I have ever stayed at! The apartment was fantastic! The space was much larger than expected, beautifully decorated, and backed up to a quiet, private garden area that offered relief from the bustling sounds of the city. The rooftop deck provided some great views. Check-in/out was a breeze. Would love to stay here again on future trips to NYC. Thanks, Q!
Jun 27, 2019Aquil-Li's place was fantastic and spacious. it's in a great location and very clean. we had a great weekend!
Jun 27, 2019Appartement très bien situé dans Midtown, proche de plusieurs lignes de métro. Accueil très sympathique de Laura et Aqui Li. Ils ont été très attentionnés et nous ont donné toutes les infos utiles (metro, musées, parks, supermarchés, visites,etc) et étaient disponibles pendant tout le séjour. L'appartement est bien équipé pour une famille avec deux enfants. L'immeuble est également sécurisé avec un portier présent 24h sur 24. C'est une adresse idéale pour visiter Manhattan. A retenir !!
Jun 27, 2019這個地點好到沒話說,在所有觀光景點的正中心,走路2分鐘就有地鐵 地鐵出口就有24小時的cvs(雜貨店),不用怕肚子餓 這個地區的治安很好,加上又有非常親切的管理員,可以非常安心的入住 房東也非常好跟貼心,設備跟用品一應俱全
Jun 27, 2019I stayed for 2 nights. Aquil-Li was prompt on response. The apartment was very cool, the roof top garden had a great view. I have nothing negative to say, I had a great stay. Thanks to Aquil-Li and Laura for sharing their apartment.
Jun 27, 2019Great location very close to all the main attractions and grand central station. Host was willing to accommodate to our needs and very helpful. There is a 24 hr pharmacy, superfood markets, and several restaurants nearby. Place is very spacious and warm felt like home. I would definitely recommend 115%%% !
