Katie’s apartment is an absolutely fabuluous location to stay. A tastefully arranged place with lots of charme and patina of a nice old building. We spent 8 days in NY with our two boys at the age of 11 and 14 and the apartment was a great base to start our daily activities. There are several subway stations close by. From one of those it’s only 3 stops to go till having crossed the East River and to arrive at Downtown Manhattan. And at the same time, the street is really quiet. The area around is offering bars, restaurants, shops etc and we have always felt safe in the neighborhood at any time. Katie and J. are great hosts, very nice and friendly and always quickly responding when needed. We loved to stay there.
