We were delighted to stay at Emily's place. Her brownstone Artist Townhouse is absolutely charming. We loved the original architectural details. The location was perfect. Two blocks to Central Park and one block to the West Side Community Garden. Close to many great restaurants, coffee and ice cream shops, bakeries and grocery stores along Columbus, Amsterdam and Broadway Avenues, including historic Zabars and Barney Greengrass (check it out online). We had great weather and many wonderful strolls in Central Park. Emily and her daughter Jenny are kind and gracious hosts. We highly recommend staying with them.
