My 13-year old daughter and I just spent 4 nights at this darling cottage-like apartment and absolutely loved it. This place has a lot of charm. After spending all day in Manhattan, stepping back into this apartment felt like entering a little cottage in the woods somewhere. Does not feel like "NYC" at all (in a good way!) It's 2 quick blocks from the subway. Within a safe, easy walk to local eateries and shops. (There is a Whole Foods within walking distance, too).
The bed is SO comfortable and large. My daughter and I shared it and had plenty of space and both slept well. In fact, we got a late start to the city each day b/c we slept in each morning we were so comfy.
The apartment looks exactly like the pictures indicate (only it's even cuter in person). I spent a half hour after check-in just looking at all the unique furniture and pieces of art. The space is a little dark (as someone else mentioned in a review) in the evening, but it added to the cottage-like vibe of the place. My daughter and I actually preferred it. Made for a cozy and relaxing feel after an over-stimulating day in the bright, bustling, loud city.
Carlo was an ideal AirBnB host. Really quick to reply, incredibly personable and helpful but not at all intrusive. Our privacy was 100% respected and yet, Carlo was quick to text back if I had a question or needed recommendations for a great cafe or pizza place. He's a super nice guy.
We would definitely stay here again.
