I recently rented Caroline's apartment for my daughter who was interning for two months this summer in Manhattan. Not only was it as lovely as described, but Caroline was an excellent landlord! She definitely made this Mom (who still worries about her "kid") feel secure in knowing her child was safe and in good hands so far from home. Having once lived in NYC myself, I know not to judge an apartment by its exterior (or the stairwell), and while this certainly rings true here, once inside, the apartment is BEAUTIFUL and spacious. The kitchen and bathroom have been remodeled and are VERY nice, the bedroom is comfortable and spacious, and everything is well appointed. The biggest bonus is the awesome neighborhood! The subway is a block away and there is no shortage of hipster coffee shops, cool neighborhood bars, and amazing restaurants and markets. I visited for a brief stay and did not want to leave!! I cannot recommend this apartment enough. Thank you Caroline for providing my daughter a beautiful home away from home and a safe environment to experience NYC to the fullest!!
