Ranita's place is an oasis. Located in one of the most exciting areas of the city (LES), her apartment is steps from great food, shopping, and night life. We worked from her place for a month, and wifi was sufficient for zoom calls. I worked from a cafe on the street in front of her apartment through several lunches--it was so close the apartment wifi worked there too! The apartment itself was perfect--2nd floor (so not a lot of stairs), but with plenty of light. Great kitchen with everything we needed to cook family dinners, large bedrooms, comfy beds. Laundry was easy to do--right downstairs. We loved the rooftop deck, which has a sitting area and a breathtaking view. Ranita is super responsive as a host. Downsides of this place are few--there is a small child in the upstairs apartment who wakes up everyday at 8am who you can hear pitter pattering across the floor, but it didn't bother us (just made us smile). If you are going to work from the apartment, know that there are no office chairs (only metal dining room chairs), but there is a desk in one of the bedrooms. Overall, this place is great.
