Location, location, location! This apartment is steps away from some of the best restaurants and bars that Manhattan has to offer, and a quick, direct subway ride up to Broadway and Midtown. It's a fairly compact space (as is usual in Manhattan) but has a very comfy bed and well kitted out kitchen. It's a historic house, and the floor slopes quite a bit in places – though I didn't personally find it an issue. I felt very safe in the neighbourhood and in the apartment, and slept with the windows open every night. Amanda and Michael were very welcoming, with lots of useful local knowledge to share, and kindly helped me to set up a temporary workspace in the apartment with a fold-down table and a computer monitor. A hugely convenient base for exploring the city.
