Victoria's apartment is the perfect place to stay when you simply want a comfortable bed and shower in Manhattan. Though there is noise from the apartment dwellers around you, the room faces the building's courtyard, so is removed from regular traffic noise, which is a welcome respite after a day out in the hustle and bustle. New York was a furnace while I was there, and Victoria kept things nice and cool in the room with a window air conditioner -- ahh! Also a welcome respite for sure! Everything is tiny, nothing "luxury" about it (both quite the norm for Manhattan apartments), but it is everything you need. The apartment is a manageable walk from the subway by New York standards, though it begins to feel very long in heat or when very tired. Victoria is quite available for questions and very friendly, a perfect host. My stay was very brief, but lovely. Thank you!
