Barry gave us a great welcome when we arrived after having kept in touch in the weeks before we booked. The large airy but warm room and ensuite was exactly as described and perfect for our requirements. Exceptionally clean bathroom. The apartment was a real haven of peace and quiet to return to after a hectic day sightseeing. The shower provided constant hot water and the bed was ultra comfortable. Loads of storage space. All toiletries and hairdryer supplied so no need to cram in suitcase! plentiful towels and pillows. The apartment building itself is quite unique with art installations inside and out. The ground floor garden is interesting and the roof top garden an amazing space with incredible views of Manhattan. Several subway lines within easy walking distance as are corner shops and a larger supermarket. Very useful to be able to use the building's launderette . Good to see each evening that there was always a concierge on duty. Other residents in the building always polite and friendly when met in eg lift or communal facilities . We stayed just over a week with Barry and would not hesitate to stay again. Very highly recommended.
