Had some trouble communicating with Ann at first. She seemed surprised that we did not want the place still being cleaned after we got there, though our arrival time was already two hours later (approx 3PM) than the time she had indicated in her write-up (1PM). Once things calmed down, the place worked out well. It’s very distinctive and in a desirable Manhattan neighborhood. Very special place—perhaps not the best fit for the very fastidious or those looking for a luxe experience, a little funky in the old sense of funky; but it worked for us and we would definitely consider renting again.
