Finally, a moment to say what a wonderful three-week stay we had at Anselm's place. Beginning with the excellent communication, all the way through from the booking to the end: Anselm will always reply, and fast. The location is right across the street from a park, with swings for our grandchild and a "dog run" to entertain her with canine frolic (and snapping). The coffee bar "Little Roy" is a minute down the Avenue, and the bodega on the corner of Greene and Tompkins is good for necessities. (Lincoln Market, a bit further away, is better for a serious shop.) The apartment is spacious, warm, and comfortable, with an extremely well-equipped kitchen (nothing missing, and some things I don't have at home) and a sleek and stylish bathroom that never ran short of hot water despite the powerful shower. The bed is very comfortable, and though the bedroom is on Greene Avenue, never fear: the double glazing keeps it pretty quiet at night. There's lots of closet space, and an "office" desk in the second bedroom. Anselm had even taken the trouble to put up a Christmas tree, plus cute Christmas teddy bears! We did not use the gigantic TV but others might enjoy it; we were happy running our music from the good Bluetooth speaker. The peak of the experience? Anselm is from Trinidad, where I grew up, and he and his sister Annette, who lives downstairs, provided us with a Christmas feast of shrimp and chicken roti (with an extra chickpea/potato curry for my vegetarian son and daughter in law who live down the street and were not even staying with us). He's a wonderful host. I highly recommend both him and his apartment!
