Clara was a very thoughtful and generous host. She was there to greet us despite an early arrival. She had stocked the mini kitchen with everything we would need for a week including fresh fruit and bottles of wine. She booked a taxi when it was time to leave. We had long chats about life and New York over coffee. The apartment was an amazing space full of the most eclectic works of art. Everyday I would notice a new painting/ statue/ book that I am sure the room magically produced overnight. The photos of the apartment on Clara's website don't begin to do it justice. There were 24 hour supermarkets, ATMs and laundries at the end of the street. The subway was a short walk. The area was teaming with all sorts of restaurants.
We felt privileged to stay with Clara.
