Kate's place was exactly what we needed. We were hosting 10 people for Thanksgiving (cooking whole spread) and staying Monday - Sunday of Thanksgiving week. Because the place is different levels, each bedroom was in a different section. There's a lovely courtyard right off the family room when you want to let in fresh air and sunlight. We even slept with our windows open on the bottom floor (that was a first after years of living in NYC). The kitchen is fully stocked with more dishes than you could ever use. There's several coat racks that are right by the front door so that when you're housing a lot of people you don't have all their coats laying around. The beds were very comfortable! There are three bathrooms. A definite plus when you have (5) 23 year olds and 5 adults all trying to get ready at the same time. Kate and her caretaker are quick to respond and address any issue. LOCATION! I was originally excited to have a Trader Joes around the corner. But with a Fairway across the street and a Target on the next corner, we never made it there. There a two fabulous restaurants right on the corner as well and we went to both. We walked to 30 Rock to see all the Christmas lights and the show at Sacks. We were able to walk to see the Thanksgiving Day Parade. 1/2 of us also walked to Time Square all dressed up for a play. We also walked to the Christmas mart at Bryant Parkl. If you're looking for a place to gather for the holidays, Kate's place is the perfect spot. The only thing that keeps it from getting a 5, the tvs could be challenging, the internet downstairs could be faster, and the stairs are a little narrow. (That could be all the pie :) We would absolutely stay there again!
