Gorgeous apartment in an ideal location with spacious common areas, large bedrooms, and a beautiful garden patio! We came with 6 girls for a babymoon / mommymoon / foodiemoon / nyc reunion weekend and Dirk's apartment provided everything we needed and more. The newly updated kitchen and bathrooms were well-appointed, the space was immaculate, and the modern chic decor was simple and tasteful. The layout was perfect for our large group as all the bedrooms were spaced apart to give plenty of privacy - would also work well with 3 couples or families with children, etc. The dining table could sit 6-8 people comfortably and we enjoyed plenty of group meals inside and out on the garden patio picnic table when it was sunny.
This UWS location was fantastic -- just 1 block from the Gristedes grocery story, 2 blocks from the subway and Central Park, and plenty of quaint buzzy restaurants (including Milk Bar for those late night dessert cravings...!). A lovely quiet neighborhood feel for those who don't mind visiting the city craziness but prefer to sleep away from it! (all of us had lived all over Manhattan years ago and this UWS apartment was definitely the perfect homebase)
Finally, Dirk is a great host -- super communicative, prompt on messages, and proactive in following up our early check-in request (normally you have to chase for that!) which is always appreciated. Highly recommend this place -- it's worth every penny!
