Wonderful and informative

I purchased this for my daughter prior to her moving to NYC to attend college. She says this is a great reference that she keeps in her purse at all times.

incredibly easy to use

this is so far the easiest travel book i've read. i almost read from the first page to the last without flipping back and forward all the time. it's nicely structured that i didn't spend any time figuring how to read this book as i have to do when reading other travel books. i like the maps with marks of attractions in each area. also, it feels like it is a real person who was writing it. lots of personal, practical opinions. on the other hand, if you want objective perspectives, this is not a book for you. but so far as i found out, all the subjective judgements have been pretty accurate. the only thing i don't really like about the book is it has too much about accommodation and dining, which i found not quite useful for me. overall, it's an excellent book. i highly recommend.
