Katie‘s apartment was great & smack bang in the middle of the coolest area. Very tiny but if in New York you don’t want to be staying in much. Kitchen was functional and great for making breakfast. Tiny seating area for two. Apartment v clean. Not Katie‘s fault and the nature of a very old building but we arrived in the middle of a freezing winter, the heating was on thank God but the pipes made an enormous noise and kept us awake at night. The Aircon units in the window were also not airtight either side so let cold blasts of air in. Katie was very responsive to our emails apart from on the last day when the hot water stopped working and we still haven’t heard back from her. The area itself is amazing & we felt safe.Great wine bar underneath the apartment. Sauce pizza up the road. 5 minute walk to Katz diner. Freeman’s & Antique garage Soho & Dirt Candy all excellent restaurants. Near to food shops. Easy walk to Brooklyn & great walk to Central Park. Would definitely stay here again.
