Julia couldn't have been a better hostess! She gave us very specific instructions on how to gain access to the apartment when we arrived, and she checked in on us later that afternoon to make sure everything was OK. The apartment is in a great area with several very good restaurants nearby. We took Julia's suggestion and went to Babbalucci and had the best pizza! It was so good, we went back a second time during our trip. The subway station is only a few blocks away, so it is very easy to get around Manhattan. The apartment itself is spacious and cozy. It is perfect for four people.
