The perfect cozy apartment for a New York winter trip! This was my first time in NYC and as an interior designer I was pleasantly surprised at how at home my boyfriend and I felt here. Every part of this place gave me all the authentic New York feels I hoped for... layers of perfectly coated paint, heavy solid doors & wood flooring, high ceilings and long curtains, white subway tile with black trim in the bathroom :) .. You can feel the history and charm. In my opinion it’s much better than any hotel room. The apartment has little natural light but it didn’t bother us at all, as we were only there in the evening/ night and the lack of view made us feel cozy and relaxed after long days of walking the city. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bedroom art was tasteful. The bathroom is small but efficient.. hot water and large towels! We didn’t spend much time in the kitchen aside from making the provided espresso and storing leftovers. The living room was cool and spacious and TV was available although we didn’t need it.
Location! :: The location could not have been more perfect for seeing 2 shows at MSG. Being on 22nd, the apartment is the perfect distance to walk, yet feel far enough away from craziness surrounding the venue. Not to mention.. each time we returned, we were greeted by the corner flower shop- a real treat for me! On the opposite corner there was also a great market & wine store that made it super convenient to get wine and snacks. All in all we were more than happy with this apartment and were sad to leave! Mario was a great host and we would stay here again in a heartbeat. A+ Thanks Mario!
