The apartment is so well kept, clean, and decorated...just like the pictures. The building is well maintained too, with really nice doorman at all hours. The apt. Is on the 3rd floor (4th U.S.) and there is a small elevator and stairs next to it for easy in and out. The view looking over rooftops, gardens and other buildings was grear. Outside noise was nowhere as bad as I expected in the middle of the city...generally peaceful at night. However, bring earplugs if you sleep past 6:30-7am cause the family upstairs are noisy risers. Oh, there it was great having a washer AND dryer, plus lots of amenities in The kitchen and bathroom. The neighborhood is awesome-artsy hipster, and not too yuppie/pretentious. We felt super safe. Victoria is a terrific hostess - super fast replies, very nice, and so accomodating (she let us drop off bags early). Great stay overall!
