This beautifully decorated apartment, in the heart of the lower east side, is one you don't want to miss!
Gabriella was an exquisite host, providing up to date and top notch recommendations, extremely well thought out welcome message with instructions down to the last detail, as well as quick, personal responses to any questions I had (which were next to none) regarding her cozy and chic home.
It was truly a pleasure staying here for a week! The apartment is near museum-like in it's artwork, decoration, and splendor. The curation of art, books, furniture, and everything (all the way down to the tableware), is incredible and deserves a closer look and appreciation. Gabriella's taste, attention to detail, and consciousness of the lived experience is impeccable. You will not be disappointed!
The bed is comfortable for both soft and firm sleepers (with an optional mattress topper), the dining table large and accommodating, the kitchen well stocked and cozy...overall, it is truly one of the nicest apartments I've ever set foot in. The location is incredible, with a 24hr bodega half a block away, and some of the best restaurants in the city within walking (or delivery!) distance.
It's incredibly accessible via subway or car. I had my car with me and was able to find parking for a week straight with little fuss. Pro tip: the street cleaning signs are only active on the last day of the week listed right now in NYC due to the pandemic. It was always a breeze (and faster) to hop on the subway to visit friends, restaurants, and anywhere I wanted to go all across Brooklyn and Manhattan!
I'm looking forward to my next trip to New York, and have my fingers crossed that Gabriella's apartment will be available upon my return :)
