Some frequent business travelers are taking more creative steps to avoid surcharges. Kat Carney, owner of Kat Carney Digital Media Group in Los Angeles is so fed up with paying technology-related fees and room service charges on her frequent trips to New York that she has rented a studio apartment equipped with a kitchen and free wireless internet and digital cable services. “I used to get really antsy the night before it came time to get my hotel bill, because I knew there would be hundreds of dollars of incidental costs,” Ms. Carney said. “This time I plan on getting a good night's sleep.

“I found the service to be quick and reliable. Any problems I had were dealt with in good time. Apt168 also acted quickly to enable me to move into my apartment with just a few days notice. Apt168 were always a quick call away if I had any queries and that was of great relief to me, not a native New Yorker. “

“I had a friend of mine that was coming to town. I could not host her, so I knew about your properties in Manhattan . You were able to accommodate her in one of your apartment on 38th and Madison . She loved it !!! The location was great and the place was clean and had a wonderful home feeling. She thanked you very much and hope to tell many friends about your company. I will definitely recommend you to anybody that is coming to New York City .”

I made it to NY and picked up the apt keys without any difficulty.
I must say that I am very pleased with my accommodations at 25 East 38 th Street and I will begin using your organization's location to the fullest.
I plan to also make the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Travel aware of your
services and ask that Apt168 be placed on the preferred accommodations roster. I travel to NY 2 weeks out of the month and had been staying at the Ritz, Marriot, and Hilton. I will be back on the 20th and would like to stay at Apt168 again.”

“You know that Apt168 is different just from the website- its not boring and it tells you what you need to know - that follows through into the service they provide- I only wish I had found them when I moved to NYC initially – efficient, succinct and personal- and they actually get back to you when they say - not your usual NYC type broker - these people treat you as a real person and not just a commission!!!!”

“I wanted to let you know that the apartment was great as well as the
services your guys provided. You made our stay very accommodating
with the late check out and the early check in. You guys have a
great thing going and I will send anyone that is coming to NYC your
way instead of hotels.”
