My birthday week celebration was off to a great start with Nicole's lovely apartment as a home base on the Upper West Side. The apartment itself is just as described, and is really, really roomy, with hardwood floors and lots of shiny decorations - very festive too!

The back patio was such a treat, just knowing it was there expanded our living area even though we only stayed out there for a few minutes given the weather. As for communication, Nicole was super accommodating, communicative, and warm. I'm so glad this all worked out, thanks for sharing your home with us, Nicole!!
