When you see a movie about Manhattan, this flat's neighbourhood is what you see. Great location, tons of food and drink places, several groceries and a greengrocer, even a church across the street for you lapsed Catholics. Why stay in a sterile hotel when you can live in a real place with real living people? Dog walkers, stroller moms, joggers. Easy access to the rest of NYC via subway or whatever. Forget the stereotype--New Yorkers are the most friendly and helpful folks around. Lovely flat, everything worked, and no noise from the neighbours.Highly recommended, especially for anyone coming to NYC for the first time like we did. Kudos to Dawn and her partner!
