Host write-up does not do this place justice. There is a very large PRIVATE patio with absolutely stunning views straight down 3rd Avenue. The Empire State building is visible from the entire apartment and the patio. The host accepted our 2 dogs (including a German Shepherd) without blinking and they also enjoyed the patio space. We were wondering why everyone was taking pictures on the corner..turns out the "The Fly" is the 10th most instagrammed graffiti in NYC (fun fact).
