My wife and I and our friend had a great experience staying in Barry's apartment for a week. The description and pictures accurtely convey its home/comfortble feel and the interesting posters and books gave made it particularly warm. The apartment is clean and well maintained with everything we needed for our stay. The building itself is lovely, quiet and situated in one of the best neighborhoods in Manhattan with easy access to the rest of the City. In every direction there are interesting shops and enough amazing restaurants to suit any taste or pocketbook (including Veniero's one of our favorite Italian Pastry shops in NY). Barry was quick to respond to our several inquiries before arrival and accomodated us on our early arrival. We would recommend this listing to anyone who wants to get a real taste what some of the best New York living and we hope to return again ourselves.
