The apartment is perfect, and has everything needed for a short- to med-term stay. Another guest and I found the flat to be perfectly located and sized. We did travel into Manhattan more than I had planned, but the subway is convenient to access from the Urban Cottage. Guests should know that since the photos were taken, a roof-top patio has been added, accessible from the kitchen/dining area. The patio was wonderful to sit on during a cool, sunny autumn day... The down-and-dirty logistics - the en-suite washer/dryer is convenient; the bathroom is spacious and bright; the living area is comfortable, the couch cozy; the kitchen has everything necessary to prepare simple meals; and the bedroom is conducive to sleep - the street is relatively quiet considering the apartment's convenient location. Every query to Michael was answered within a couple of hours. I hope to stay in the Urban Cottage for my next trip to NYC.
