Jennifer's apartment is a well-cared for studio in the heart of midtown Garment District, just a few blocks from Bryant Park. The huge skylight is so nice. The quality of light in the early afternoon is idyllic. It has a casual vibe with sound healing instruments, a bean bag chair, and eclectic decór. The A.C. works great. Jennifer was very friendly and inviting.
Midtown is well-known for its business + tourist vibe. The theatre district is a short walk away. Restaurants are plentiful, though the food is geared towards fast and American. I ate better when I just went for the higher end restaurants, as the quality of the others is questionable. Google reviews of restaurants in the area are inflated. Korea town is a few blocks away and has some better options. Check out Tonchin (best ramen), Fine & Rare (live jazz), and further north, Tao (cavernous Asian Fusion restaurant with a colossal Buddha statue), for unforgettable dining experiences. Culture on 38th is the best coffee shop around.
The apartment has no blackout curtains so expect a good amount of light 24/7. If you're light sensitive like me, this can be a problem. I slept with a sleep mask every night. Thankfully it wasn't noisy at night, other than the occasional garbage truck.
Lastly, something that Jennifer worked valorously to correct, but you should be aware of, is that there is a light odor from the pipes in the bathroom sometimes. The only way to tame the beast is to keep the fan on continuously, otherwise it becomes overwhelming. Hopefully she can get to the root of the problem, and it may be completely fixed soon after I write this review.
Overall, Jennifer's apartment is a unique find that will be a welcome escape from busy, touristy midtown. I especially recommend it for those who are not light- and smell-sensitive, and who like a casual space instilled with positive intentions.
