We loved staying in Aris' apartment, it completely enhanced our visit to New York. It was spacious, comfortable, elegant and a joy to come back to after a busy day in the city. It is full of colour and interest and history. Lovely paintings on the walls from Haiti, musical instruments and stylish furniture. It has the added bonus of a fabulous roof terrace with views of New York.
We found the main bedroom bed too squishy but the second bedroom bed was very comfortable so we swopped with our son.
We were met and greeted by Aris' friend Aleksandar, who was very helpful and friendly. The neighbourhood was vibrant and interesting, loads of cafes and individual shops. There is a good convenient super market, left and left out of the building past the German cafe on the corner. Tompkins Square is just a block away, which in late August hosts The Charlie Parker Jazz festival.
