Two Bridges holiday rentals

My husband and I stayed for 5 nights in Manhattan after running the Boston Marathon. We wanted to stay in an apartment away from the tourist hotspots as this was our 2nd visit to the city, but close enough to the subway to easily access the must see places.The F line on the subway closest to the apartment was great as it took us uptown and downtown in a couple of stops.The apartment was a great size for 2 travellers, washing machine and dryer, great sized kitchen, was very clean. The location was a little too far out of the way for us, even though the subway was a 12 minute walk, this is surprisingly quite a hike winding through many streets. The area is of concern, I personally didn’t feel safe, we quickly worked out the safer streets to walk down. As referenced by another visitor the apartment was noisy as it backs on to a busy road which is frequently used by emergency service vehicles and many loud trucks and cars at all hours of the night.Overall the location was not for us but the apartment itself was great.

Have just returned from an incredible 15 night stay in this cool, art filled loft and cannot begin to do it justice. Our expectations were certainly high after pouring over the gorgeous photos, but it seriously went way beyond anything we could have imagined. Andrea and Kit were exceptional hosts and showed such warmth and genuine interest, ensuring our experience was perfect. It actually felt as though we were staying at the home of dear friends, allowing us to feel like locals in this gorgeous and peaceful precinct. The location was fantastic. Having stayed previously in many other neighbourhoods, this is now our favourite. There are so many wonderful restaurants, bars and coffee shops nearby, and the market on Fulton Street is so handy on the way home from Fulton St Station after a big day out. Our favourite restaurants were Via Carota, Barbulo, Odeon, Tiny's, Il Brigante and Augustine (all recommended by Andrea and Kit). Morning runs along the East River north, or south to Battery Park and up the Hudson were beautiful, in addition to the Brooklyn Bridge which is always spectacular. Don't hesitate booking this apartment. If you are reading this review you were obviously drawn to this apartment by the amazing photos. Believe me it is exactly as described, only better. Go ahead and read all the other reviews - I wholeheartedly agree with everything that has been written before. Book this apartment and enjoy!! Thank you so much Andrea and Kit!! We can't wait to come again soon.
