Both Tony and Lee Ann were most welcoming and generous, even offering me museum passes, lunch and company for a walk on the High Line. Only late into my stay did I realize what a special place "Torn Page," as the building is called, is in the theater world of NY. The history and character of the house give a special bohemian air to the stay.

The location is fabulous. The neighborhood is full of good places to eat, Sullivan's Bakery and Company being my two favorites. Transportation to everywhere is plentiful.

The bedroom was clean and quiet, with a comfortable bed, though neither it nor the rest of the space was as nice and tidy as they looked on Airbnb's pictures. There was no private bath, an important feature for me. The tub and shower in the advertised bath weren't working, so showers had to be taken in an upstairs bath that appeared to be shared by several people, as there were numerous used towels draped over the tub. The bath advertised on Airbnb had no means of locking the door, so I didn't feel comfortable leaving items there.
