We had a fantastic six night stay with our two daughters in Catalina’s apartment. Catalina was in touch with us before and during our stay and was there to welcome us on arrival (despite our three hour delay as we negotiated passport control at the airport!) and offered to store our cases so that we could make the most of our morning in the city and ordered a taxi for us on our day of departure.
The apartment was clean and equipped with everything we needed for the duration of our stay. The location was great - a short walk to the subway and Trader Joe’s supermarket and lots of bars and restaurants on the doorstep, including Tompkins Square Bagels (we went nearly every day for coffee and bagels for breakfast) and Cafe Mogador (recommended by Catalina and appreciated by us for its delicious food and lively atmosphere). The apartment was a little noisy on weekend nights as others have said but easily resolved with earplugs and worth the trade off for being able to stay in such a vibrant neighbourhood.
