The apartment is exactly as described, light-filled and spacious, especially for NYC. It is beautifully decorated. The street is quiet at night and birds greet you in the morning. The A/C subway line is about a five minute brisk walk away. (The A line is an express train with quick access into Manhattan.) We were greeted by a family member when we arrived and Assiati checked in on us during our stay. The kitchen worked well for breakfasts. There are limited pots/pans and counter space, so larger meals would be difficult. But restaurant options are abundant. Assiati was a pleasure to communicate with before, during, and after our stay. It was a peaceful oasis in the evening after busy days touring Manhattan. We'd appreciate the chance to stay here again!
