I cannot say enough great things about this apartment, its location, and the engaged host.
Look no further, this is where to stay in New York. This downstairs apartment is fantastic. Everything is well appointed, clean, and open. It’s a quiet retreat within a city that never sleeps. I’ve stayed in a number of city hotels but never had nights of sleep like this. There was no noise at night, It was quieter than our home neighborhood.
The location is close to subway lines, calm enough for easy Uber-ing, and surrounded by a number of great neighborhood food options.
We traveled with our two boys, 9 and 7 years old. We put one on the pullout sofa and the other on a rollaway bed Richard provided. They slept great as well. What we really liked about the apartment is that we could close a bedroom door and have our own quiet, private space and they could have theirs. The other feature that set this apartment apart for us was the presence of the small kitchen table for the four of us. The city can be overwhelming, especially for kids, so it was nice to have a place to have breakfast and lunch together in a nice, calm space just us.
Everything said by other reviewers about Richard is true. He communicated well, checked-in, and engaged our requests and needs. He was gracious to permit early check-in and slightly later check out. He is a deserving super host. You will not regret staying here, we surely didn’t.
