This was our first time staying outside of Soho or near Central Parque, regions we used to stay - and we loved it.
There is an air of novelty, novelties, the new park... in short, a New York atmosphere with a lot to do, very easy to come and go, in addition to offering small refuges close to nature.
New York can be brutal many times, the city gives a lot, but it requires a lot of energy, especially from those who visit it and suffer the impact of many intense days.
Another issue that caught our attention was the way we were treated by Roula and Matt - in this short-term rental system it's really nice to feel welcomed, a small sample of what it would really be like to live in the city.
About the apartment, everything seemed adequate: in the kitchen the utensils of excellent quality and good taste. A spacious and elegant living room with that incredible view and special lighting.
This is definitely a 5 star apartment.
