As long as you don't mind walking up 5 flights of stairs (think of it as a gym amenity) this is an unusually great value. The apartment is sparkling clean, very well cared for and thought out. It is a small space but super comfortable, airy sweet view, nice light, good vibe, perfectly furnished. Ernie, the host, is that perfect balance of relaxed and accommodating, but immediately responsive. We live in NYC and needed space for our oldest son when he came back from school. This is a great location, safe and quiet, but close to shopping, food, transportation -- great downtown area of NYC.
