This apartment has its priorities right. A big comfy bed, big window with lovely window seat to watch the world go by, plentiful storage space to hang up and put away all your things, so you don’t have to live out of a suitcase for the duration of your stay, and a good sized fridge.
The location is perfect for exploring Manhattan and Central Park and there is easy access to the subway system for getting around the rest of NYC.
The apartment is a wee bit rough around the edges here and there, with a shabby chic vibe, and the common areas in the building are a bit dilapidated (although renovations seem to be happening) but if this building was pristine in this location it would carry a much higher price tag.
During the booking process I had noted that there didn’t seem to be a table in the apartment and when I asked Anastasia about it she actually went and bought one! This is outstanding service from the host and made a big difference to our stay as we could have brunch at the table before heading out to explore the city.
Communication was efficient and prompt and Anastasia’s neighbour was on hand, should we have needed anything during our stay.
