This was the most fabulous place! Quiet, very clean and most comfortable. Great location with easy access to everything. Although way too cold for me to be outside, I did enjoy the garden outlook from the warmth of inside! :-) The kitchen is very serviceable; if you feel tempted to cook (which I didn't, but did do the reconnaissance) with great basics that many places either forget or are not interested in providing. There is, joy of joys, a large dishwasher that too often is not available in NY apartments. It is clear much thought went into making this apartment as comfortable as possible and it shows. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone and know where I shall be staying next time I come to NY!
