The Brownstone is, to date, the best of about the half dozen apartments in which I've stayed in NYC. It's an unusually quiet spot for New York, is reasonably well located (15 minutes to midtown), in a nice enough street, and in a well maintained and renovated building. The apartment itself is well equipped, furnished in a contemporary style, and is spacious. If you're particular about your beds this one's firm! Possibly one thing missing is a small table/desk with a dining/office chair or two for guests who need to work or want to eat at a table. Two new, and good, coffee spots have opened up in the area: just round the corner Lennox Coffee, and a few blocks up Astor Row Cafe. All in all it's a good value rental to which I'd return.
