We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment felt even more open and spacious than portrayed in the listing photos. There is plenty of light during the day. Surprisingly quiet for a Manhattan apartment, and very clean. The bed was quite comfortable, but if you are into bedtime stories bring a reading light as there are no lamps at the head of the bed. The kitchen is impressive, we enjoyed taking our breakfasts at the counter. (There is a d'Agostino supermarket across 3rd Ave and a Trader Joe's just 3 blocks away, super convenient.) Plenty of hot water for showers in the nice bathroom. Everything was clean with thoughtful touches. Great neighborhood, safe and with easy access to public transportation. If you're into jogging it is just 3 blocks from the East River Esplanade. Don't miss nearby Sarge's Deli and Franchia Vegan café. (I am not vegan or vegetarian, but had one of the best meals of our stay. there) This is an ideal base for exploring Manhattan, we hope to return. Steven was an excellent host, quick to respond to our questions.
