I can't speak highly enough about Art & Ed and their generous hospitality & beautiful apartment. From the first communication to our farewell we felt welcomed and cared about. Both have extensive knowledge of NY, history, unique sights, great restaurants like only locals do & are very happy to share these with their guests. The location is great, a 10 minute walk to the subway or bus right outside. The Highline is literally outside the door and it's lovely to walk it. included breakfast is a great start to the day & laid out thoughtfully each night ready for the morning , beds & pillows are great quality & very comfortable, linen, towels are clean, fresh & were changed during our 12 day stay. The private bathroom is spacious & immaculately clean, as is the whole apartment, with a stock of essentials including a hairdryer . We didn't use the kitchen to cook in apart from making a cup of tea & late night snacks, but it had everything you would need to make a meal if you want. We were welcome to use the lounge room, very pleasant to sit in comfort to read or catch up on emails etc and not feel that you have to stay in the bedroom, There are restaurants & a couple of bars downstairs & many more within walking distance what ever type of food you're after, a 24 hr pharmacy opposite, a liquor store & a supermarket in the next block. Although the intersection of Tenth & 23rd is busy, the bedroom is at the back, not on the street & apart from the odd siren, the street noise didn't bother us at all. It is New York after all, it's a busy place all hours. We slept very well. And only one flight of steps, easily manageable, and we were helped up the stairs with our bags. We felt safe at all times, the building is secure and our privacy was respected always. A wonderful stay with two lovely people, thanks so much Art & Ed.
