  • This year, my parents decided not to go away in the summer, but to wait until the 1) F to go on 2) v for a few days. They’d always wanted to have a city break, so they looked online for somewhere to stay and found accommodation near the center of Manhattan. The 3) a they rented was quite small, but the bedrooms were big and there was plenty of space in the 4) c for their clothes. There was also a small 5) y where they could eat breakfast outside. Of course the 6) t in New York is great for getting around; they could walk to most of the sights or take the 7) s for longer journeys across town.
