Everything was very smooth; Tietjen was in touch with us every step along the way and made us feel at home. The studio is very cozy and well appointed with a ton of closet space, a nice bathroom and a kitchen with fridge, dishes, coffeemaker-toaster and hot plate. There is a fountain out back which means a nice peaceful white noise as you relax in the apartment.
We enjoyed the neighborhood and Cortland street has a lot of cool little shops and coffee shops. It's a little bit removed from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy parts of the city. And, that's really the rub- if you are looking for a cool oasis and want to explore around the city and environs during the day and have a quiet spot off the beaten path to come back to at night, this is a great place for you.
