No need to repeat all the positive comments in past reviews that make this a five star apartment. My wife and I spent 11 nights at the apartment and found this to be the most comfortable of all the apartments we have stayed in on our previous trips to NYC. It was by far the largest, especially for Manhattan. We interacted with Nicolas (one of the owners) throughout our stay and he was very responsive and accommodating to our requests. Since he and Hugh live in the above apartment, communicating via messaging was very convenient. The bed was very comfortable and the linens and towels top notch. The location was great for walking and taking public transportation, and near many good restaurants. Whole foods is within walking distance (less than a mile), but the Gourmet Garage grocery is right at the corner and has all the essentials if you don’t want to go to Whole Foods. If you like art galleries, several good ones are on the same block.
