| We just returned from staying in apt 16D for 4 nights. It was great, very accessible, clean, and the view of the Hudson out the apt, and the views from the rooftop (especially at night)are unbelievable. My family enjoyed it alot. There are many great,affordable restaurants on 9th ave. Try Chelsea Grill and Pam Real Thai (on 49th and 9th). We walked two blocks to the theater to see Jersey Boys and about 6 blocks to Times Sq. Also walked to Central Park and Rockefeller Center, so very centrally located. Had a great time, and Tamara was so helpful with all of my questions. Hope to be back some day! |

My husband and I stayed in Tamara's apartment 16D last weekend and loved it!! It had everything we needed and more! We had a great view of the river and were so close to Times Square that we really couldn't have asked for more.
Tamara was such an amazing person to deal with. She not only answer all my questions about the apartment, but about New York as well. She was quick to reply to me and was just so friendly! I have already recommended her to my friends and I hope we have the pleasure of dealing with her again!! |

This was my first experience with Vacation Rental
by Owner and I will defiantly use this website
again. Tamara keeps a very clean and well stocked
condo. it was perfect. It was close to the subway
and within walking distance to a lot of things. we
walked to time square and it wasn't that bad,even
in high heels. I would defiantly stay here again on
my next visit to NY.We left our luggage at the front
desk on our last day and had no worries about
it,Very secure building. thank you Tamara for a
wonderful place to stay. |

| My girlfriend and I went to New York to celebrate our 50th birthday. Staying in Tamara's apt. was one of the highlights of our trip. It was convenient to everything and it was absolutely immaculate. We felt extremely safe and the views are beautiful. I have recommended it to several of my friends. I will definitely stay there again. |

| We couldn't be happier with our stay. The accommodations were terrific...beautiful building with contemporary decor, nicely appointed room with a great view, and a wonderful location within walking distance of Central Park, Broadway, Times Square and Rockefeller Center. The room was very clean, and it's in a nice neighborhood. Tamara took care of everything. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again, and we've already recommended it to our friends. |

I am very happy to recommend apartment 16D at 515 West 52nd Street to anyone looking for clean, well-furnished, secure, and convenient accommodation in New York. The view over the Hudson is such a bonus and the lights at night are delightful. We stayed for 13 nights and were able to access all areas by walking and using New York cabs (their rates are very reasonable) when we tired.
La Bergamote is a delightful cafe right next door for coffee, delicious cakes and light meals too. Tamara is an excellent landlady to deal with; friendly, efficient and very reliable.
Sincerely, Kaye from Melbourne and Lyn from Hamilton.

| For our second trip to New York we wanted to stay longer and feel part of the action, so an apartment was the ideal accommodation choice. Our 11-day stay was preceded by a cruise and 515 West 52nd Street was perfect, being only a short and easy walk from the cruise terminal. Apartment 15D was spotlessly clean on arrival, agreeably furnished and extremely well provisioned, quiet and comfortable, much better than a hotel. The view over the Hudson River is fabulous, especially at night, and it's fun watching the ships come and go. Great shops nearby for self-catering, especially the Amish Market on 9th Ave, which never closes, and D'Agastino's on 10th - ask for a discount card. The friendly staff at La Bergamote on the ground floor serve coffee, salads and scrumptious cakes from early morning to late at night and a doorman on duty 24 hours makes you feel welcome and secure. Tamara's apartment is ideal for anyone leaving or embarking on a cruise and is within walking distance of Times Square, many major attractions, including the aircraft carrier Intrepid with its newly acquired Concorde - and, of course, all those fantastic shops! |

My wife and I spent 5 great nights and days at Tamara's 16D apartment. The facility was clean and modern, sufficient space and the kitchen stocked with what we need for cooking sny meals we did not enjoy in Manhattan restaurants. On entering the apartment the first evening I was struck by the great view of the Hudson and the light-dotted hills on the horizon. Being on the 16th floor minimized road noise and the other residents of the building were friendly and unobtrusive.
Tamara was in contact with us to ensure everything was as we wanted. We had one small issue with the DVD player. We talked with her Sunday morning and when we returned that evening there was a new DVD player installed.
Our security deposit was returned to us and posted to our credit card the day after we left. We could not have asked for any better service and the acommodations were excellent. We easily walked to and from Mid-Town, whether it was MOMA, Rockefeller Center or Broadway plays.
We will return.

This rental is amazing! Perfect location! We were in perfect walking distance to all of our needs.
The terrace is a jewel. A great place to sit and relax after a busy day of shopping and the view is spectacular.
We could not have asked for a better host. Tamara always handled our needs in a quick and efficient manner.
Tamara, we are so glad that we had the opportunity to meet you.
We truly enjoyed your apartment and accomodations. We will definetly contact you the next time we are able to visit New York.
Best Regards!

| My husband and I just returned from our first vacation in New York. The whole trip was fabulous and made even better by having comfortable accomadations. We were in awe of the view from our window overlooking the river, watching cruise ships dock and the spectacular view at night. From the rooftop its even better as you see Manhatten from all sides. The apt is very clean and cozy and you feel right at home when you enter. We walked 90% of the time to the theaters, shopping in times square, sightseeing and endless restaurants. What a great location. Thanks Tamara for the hospitality. |

I can't say enough nice things about this apartment and Tamara's fantastic service. I've used VRBO often and have never had a more professional, courteous experience than with Tamara.
First of all, one word -- SPOTLESS!! I've rented many condos via VRBO and have never found one so clean. Add to that the toiletries, coffee supplies, computer, iron, hairdryer, beautiful and soft linens, USEFUL NY Studio furnishings (little TV tables for laptops, wonderful comfy loveseat, cute stools that function as tables)and computer and printer that Tamara graciously provides and it's more like renting a luxury hotel room than someone's "by owner" condo. But with all the benefits of a condo.
The location is in an up and coming NY neighborhood (Hell's Kitchen) within a block of its famous antique outdoor market on Saturday next to a cute, new posh restaurant. There is a little bit of "seediness" in some surrounding blocks, but you see where the development is changing that. Head five blocks or so south and two blocks east and you're in adorable Chealsea area with the Joyce theatre, tons of restaurants, spas, yoga, shopping, etc.
Only disappointment was no high-speed wireless, but again, Tamara provides high-speed Internet on a computer for your use.
This is only one of Tamara's properties -- I look forward to trying them ALL!! |

| Tamara made this visit easy and fantastic. The apt is extremely clean, top notch linens, great views, etc. The doormen are super nice. Kitchen is stocked with all equipment and TO GO menus. Computer and printer and phone all work great. Tamara even has umbrellas and an iron for your convenience. She is very prompt, extremely detailed and makes the rental process a BREEZE! Enjoy your stay and I hope you book quickly before others find out this great NYC secret. |
