This is a wonderful place to stay. Great location near the Lexington Ave. subway. Right down the street from the Metropolitan Museum. Wonderful restaurants and shops (BEST bagel place a block away).
The apartment is spacious, with “pre-war” high ceilings, wall mouldings, tall windows with lots of light, hardwood floors. It is on the top floor of the building (with an elevator), so no clomping footsteps overhead, and it’s very quiet by NY standards. There is an entry hall for leaving keys, umbrellas& shoes. And coat hooks right by the front door that we didn’t notice until the day we left (!). The apt is a little run down but we liked that — layers of paint and just as many layers of character. It was very clean an stylishly and eclectically decorated with a combination of antiques and modern furniture. The couch, a fabulous Italianate settee is extremely comfortable & now we want to look for a similar one for our house!
The beds are comfortable and the linens and towels are soft and of excellent quality.
The kitchen has not been updated but has plenty of room, the necessary appliances and perfectly acceptable for traveling.
Hosts are great, good communication and flexibility.
We plan to make this our New York place to stay from now on!
