My wife, in-laws, our six-month old baby, and I stayed in Jamie's 2nd floor loft in UWS for a week and really loved it. The place is clean, spacious, and really convenient for what we wanted. Across the street from the museum, one block from Central Park, and just steps from food, shopping, and subway lines. On Sunday, it seemed like there was a farmer's market right across the street, but not sure if that's an every week thing.

The apartment itself was vertically spacious, with lofted ceilings, and eclectic. We had a quite a time imagining origin stories for the creative furniture pieces :). The kitchen was great with high-end appliances and Jamie made us feel welcome by voluntarily stocking the fridge with beverages and food items.

There's a master bedroom upstairs (third floor) with beautiful bathroom. There are multiple single-sleeper beds on the loft mezzanine. And the main living area is enormous and comfortable. My sister-in-law, fiance, and a few friends (all of whom live in NYC) came by to visit and were mouths agape at the size of the place.

Best of all, Jamie is a warm host who also happens to live across the hall (in 2F, this loft is 2R). She was very welcoming, helpful, and seemed more concerned about our comfort than I was :). She's a photographer and willingly took a set of family portraits for us across the street at the museum - she volunteered to do this and it wasn't just a throwaway line, because she called the next day to make it happen.

We really enjoyed our week in NYC in Jamie's loft. Staying there made us feel like we were living the life of real New Yorkers for seven days. :)
