This is a wonderful place for a pair of travelers to land! I stayed for several nights with an old friend who met me in New York. The apartment consists of just two rooms, but they're both enormous, so the place feels very spacious. And it's got charm to burn--we loved the striped floor in the kitchen and the big clawfoot tub in the bath. Both beds were extremely comfortable. And the place was amazingly quiet, especially considering how close it is to Fulton Street. No need for ear plugs to sleep! Alison's system for checking in and getting keys is extremely efficient and eliminates all concerns about missed or late flights, transit delays, and so on. We never actually met our hosts, although they were around the entire time and were very prompt about returning text messages.
The neighborhood is diverse and vibrant, filled with interesting places to eat and gorgeous residential architecture. I only wish we'd had more time to explore!
