A nice apartment - 'cosy' always suggests something rather small - but this is a very well proportioned one bedded flat (we didn't use the sofa-bed) with the space it needs, and the icing on the cake of the balcony - a great place to sit with spectacular views towards NYs's 'pencil' skyscrapers. Location is good if you need to be in this part of town - I did (Lincoln Centre) - and it has really good restaurants near by (a great Sushi Japanese) and a Market next door. The block is amazingly quiet - most of the residents seem to be older citizens - and the roads around are also quiet - bizarrely it is horses hooves and cart-wheels (going back to stables after working nearby Central Park) you hear more in the evening than any motor vehicles. It is not a sparkly or new apartment - it feels lived in - and the white goods are 'mature' - the fridge failed whilst we were there, a light fitting stopped, and the cooker was difficult - but Kate was great with communication and tried to sort things out. We would happily return if in this part of NY again.
