Patricia was an attentive, polite host who checked in with us during our stay. Apartment is conveniently located to shops and bus stops. Unfortunately, there was not enough silverware in the kitchen (only one fork for 3 of us) and crockpot pictured was not available. Also, the only knife provided was a large serrated bread knife, making slicing and dicing a challenge. Not a problem if you're not planning on preparing your own food. Guests should be aware the apartment is part of a two family home with shared walls, located near the common entry. We were able to hear conversations and loud footsteps on the stairs late at night and early in the morning. Despite these issues we enjoyed our stay during our visit to New York City for Christmas.
