I had a wonderful stay at Patricia's apartment.
The location is so perfect for a museum lover like me. The Neue Galerie is literally across the street, the Met is three short blocks downtown and the Guggenheim three short blocks uptown. It was such a luxury to be able to have them all so close. Especially the Met.
The transportation situation at the apartment couldn't be more convenient. The uptown bus, downtown bus and crosstown bus are all a block away or less. The subway is only 3 blocks away but I never used it because the bus was always so easy. Plus you get a a tour when you're on your way.
This was my first trip since Covid so I was apprehensive from a safety point of view. But I had nothing to worry about. The neighborhood is very safe and I never had any concerns even walking alone at night. The city itself felt safe everywhere I went. Even the theatre district late at night.
The apartment itself is very comfortable. The living room and bedroom are spacious. The bed and sofas are comfortable. There is nice light in both rooms during different times of the day. This is Patricia's home so it's filled with her books and things, but she has made ample room to accommodate her guests. There's plenty of room in the closet and plenty of empty bedroom drawers to put your things. The bathroom cabinet has plenty of room for your toiletries. A very nice bathroom by the way, with a nice hot shower.
Patricia is a warm, understanding, generous,and helpful host. I would love to stay with her again and hope to soon. I highly recommend her and her apartment.
