We had an amazing week at the apartment. Florence made us feel welcome, and was easy to get in touch with - even though she was away on holiday! The apartment was very clean, with pretty interior and just as described here. There were 4 of us, so we mostly used cabs to get to downtown Manhattan, and walked around from there. Definitely not a cheap way of transportation, $25-40 depending og traffic and where you want to go. We were initially a little skeptical regarding the neighborhood, but no need to worry. Will absolutely recommend staying in of Florence's apartments.
