Ann's lovely house was the perfect base for a whirlwind work trip to New York. It's a very large bedroom for Manhattan -- though (as others have noted) it could have done with a proper mirror -- and I really liked the decor. Everything was clean and elegantly presented and NB I didn't find the bar opposite a problem. The location is AMAZING. I am a keen runner and ended up going for long runs down the Hudson shore (just at the bottom of Leroy Street) almost every day because it was so perfect. Great places to eat and shop abound (Snack is a great Greek place over the road, Spunto did wonderful pizzas, Bread was great for breakfast but there were hundreds more places I never got the chance to try). I'd thoroughly recommend staying here.
