We arrived at Karima and Abel’s spacious, light-filled apartment to find a gift basket and a nice note. We stayed for one week, enjoying the wonderful view from the apartment, which looks out over the Upper East Side. We were thrilled to discover that one of our favorite restaurants, Le Moulin à Café, is literally across the street. The primary language at the cafe is French- it’s a slice of Paris in NYC. We enjoyed the few blocks of walking to the Subway, as well as the nearby gourmet groceries like Agata and Valentina at 76th and 1st Ave. After long days in the city, it was nice to return to the friendly doormen, quiet apartment, and comfortable beds. We had some trouble logging into the WiFi, but Abel was quick and accommodating with communication and we figured it out.
