What a beautiful, spacious, inviting apartment. We were all in awe when we walked in. The apartment is homey, but not cluttered. The furniture is old fashioned and some of it is a little delapidated, but the beds and all the amenities (beautifully updated kitchen and bathrooms including a washer and dryer) are new and of very high quality. Francesca also has an eye for beauty; the walls and moldings are gorgeously faux painted, giving the apartment a feel of being in an Italian villa.
The location is one block from the Central Park Reservoir, which has a great walking/running path as well as an excellent biking street (no traffic allowed). All in all, we loved the place and recommend it highly.
