Brigitte's apartment is beautiful! It has so much room, you wouldn't expect that in a great section of the city. The Palermo Soho district is hip with a lot of yummy restaurants, shops, bakeries, cafes, grocery stores....anything you need is within a block or two! Felt very safe walking around the area at night also. It is about 10 blocks to the green subway line which connects to other lines that will get you wherever you want to go. Brigitte was very quick in responding to questions--which is very helpful! I hope we can stay again!
