Kurt’s place is an absolute gem. The space is beautiful, and feels like the ideal of a romanticized New York with books, jazz records, and art to always surround you. Beds are cozy, water is hot, the whole nine. The neighborhood is laidback and friendly, and travel either via vehicle or subway is easy to figure out. Kurt is so extremely kind and makes you feel at home immediately upon arrival.
My one piece of advice is to listen to what Kurt has to say, whether it’s suggestions on what to do, New York history, or just musings on life. He won’t steer you wrong. My only regret about writing this review is that Kurt’s place is so special I’d almost rather keep it to myself. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in New York.
