We initially contemplated staying in Manhattan and are so glad we opted for Dena’s place instead. After long days of walking & visiting the City, it was wonderful to retire to her lovely apartment. The place was remarkably quiet - no street noise at all - we slept great! Dena even provided an extra cot so both our teenage kids could have their own beds in the living room. In the morning we’d have coffee & breakfast on the patio out back & plan our day. So many shops & restaurants & bars within walking distance from the apartment. We highly recommend Barbes where there’s live music every night- Slavic Soul Party on Tuesday nights is a hoot. We were a little concerned about finding street parking but found spots within just a few minutes of driving around. We highly recommend Dena’s place. She’s a wonderful host - you won’t regret it!
