We couldn't have had a better time in New York! Joanne's apartment was adorable and had such a sweet NYC feel. It was also away from a lot of the hustle and bustle which was a nice escape. It is still noisy from being on the street. But, we loved the location, and I had ear plugs, so the noise wasn't a big issue, and shouldn't be for anyone used to living in the city. Her parents were the sweetest people and so generous and helpful. We never got to see Joanne, but she kept great communication with us and never failed to respond quickly to our texts. The apartment was stocked with everything we needed, and I mean everything! It truly was a home away from home. If I go back to New York, I will most likely stay here again.
