Nicole was a wonderful host who communicated well and greeted us with warmth and excitement. As shown in the photos, the apartment is very stylish. It has a quintessential NYC vibe with the loft & exposed brick. I slept in the loft bed, and it was incredibly comfortable. I tested the main bed, and it was very comfortable as well. The oversized couch was a cozy retreat midday when we were tired from walking. Bathroom was bigger than many NYC bathrooms, water stayed hot and drained well. Location is ideal, close to the more residential neighborhoods with local restaurants & bars. Short walk to the Union Square metro station, which has multiple routes. I look forward to staying again!
