Laura was a fabulous host and very responsive and her apartment was great for our group of five. We found the building mostly quiet (but within normal range of a building where other people live, of course). We loved having a washer-dryer during our week-long stay, and the common areas were very comfortable. We also appreciated the space heaters in the bedrooms, which were pretty essential on some of the colder nights in late December. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed with closets and hangers. I found the beds and pillows also a very nice quality. The neighborhood, if you don't know, is quite affluent and safe. (The building also has a doorman on weekdays.) There are fantastic restaurants and cafes every way you turn (we loved Primos!) -- more than you can possibly enjoy in a reasonable visit. I swear we are not that old-fashioned, but we all would have preferred to have normal keys instead of the "smart lock," which was a bit fickle to set up on our phones -- but in the end we managed (almost exclusively by using a code to enter) and anyway other guests may well prefer this sort of digital entry. :-)
