Our stay at Ravit's apartment was perfect. The beautiful pictures we saw in advance match exactly to the lovely home we found when we arrived. Her place was absolutely clean, and she left us all sorts of instructions to make everything very simple. She included a book on the counter for information on shows, restaurants, and general ideas for visitors to enjoy New York. She has a very nice large screen TV set with Netflix and Apple TV, which we were welcomed to use. Ravit has the eye and taste of an interior designer, so the furniture and layout of her place are fun to enjoy. She recently re-did parts, so the stylish interior is complimented by the renovation. The location in NYC is fantastic, with so much available within just a few city blocks. But most important is the warmth and hospitality of the experience, from the moment we were e-mailing with Ravit, to the ease and friendliness of her friend who let us in and gave us the keys, to the relaxing and homey feeling we both felt in the apartment throughout our stay. A few other things you might want to consider: 1) This is not a doorman building, but it has two locked doors before you can enter the building; 2) her apartment is on the top floor, which is the fourth floor, with no elevator; 3) we found the apartment too warm, and couldn't figure out how to lower the heat. Overall, without a doubt, we had a wonderful weekend in New York, and staying at Ravit's home, with such a warm welcome, played a big role.
