The best part about this apartment is the location — what a neighborhood! There are two gorgeous parks within a few minutes walk, but even the street itself is like a jungle. Amsterdam St is loaded with cafes, shops, restaurants, and even a running path and public exercise equipment. It was also quieter than we would have expected — we were never bothered by street sounds.
Inside the home you’ll find a grand 2-level space with the living areas on the first floor and bedrooms and baths on the second. There is a lovely private courtyard that was the perfect spot to start our mornings with coffee and conversation.
The building itself is quite old, lending a whole lot of charm but also some rather out-of-level floors and sensitive plumbing. The tub in the one shared bath didn’t drain so we all ended up using the en suite bathroom for showering, but we didn’t bother alerting Hector about this during our stay since we didn’t need that fourth bedroom for our group.
All in all, we really enjoyed our stay here and would be happy to come back.
