On our first trip to New York we were very unsure where to stay but travelling as two couples we thought an apartment would work well. Francesca's apartment was the perfect choice for us. It is in the most perfect quiet Upper West Side location - close to the Subway, right by the Park and with food stores and restaurants just a short walk. Francesca was super-helpful, providing lots of info and responding very quickly to any minor queries we made. The apartment is huge and furnished with antiques and art. It's the perfect haven during a busy week discovering NYC.
