Michele was a wonderful host. He met us at the PH & showed us everything we needed. The rooftop terrace was a lovely reprieve from a busy day in NYC, & a perfect space for yoga & coffee in the morning. The rooms are spacious, & staying in the PH feels like you have a private quiet oasis in the city. Think small Italian villa in NYC. The roses & peonies smelled heavenly when we arrived & lingered lightly for days. Michele has grown fresh herbs on the terrace for your use. There are windows throughout & the breeze felt great in the evening. The entire space is light, bright and airy. There are friendly doormen 24/7, which was much appreciated. A Whole Foods is just a few city blocks away. There is nowhere I would rather have an extended stay in NYC.
