I'm a New Yorker, I was born and raised in the city, and this is a FABULOUS NYC apartment. High ceilings, open space, comfortable mattresses, and a great location. If you're on the fence about which place to book, know that you can't do better than this in the city in my opinion. Julia makes check-in easy, the apartment is super clean, and well-stocked (we went to the grocery 2 blocks south for some ravioli and made dinner the first night). The building is safe, on a well-lit street in a really good neighborhood and you have a ton of charming New York restaurants to choose from within close proximity. If you come during the holidays it's an easy walk down to The Union Square Winter holiday market, Boucherie is a gorgeous French place at about 20th and Park South, there's a Gregory's coffee less than a block away for breakfast treats (and vegan croissant sandwiches if that's your thing) and you can walk to the N and R trains in 3 minutes (super close at 23rd and B'way) which will get you to Times Square, Rock Center and down to the WTC memorial. I've never stayed in a hotel or Airbnb in NYC before (I"ve always had a home until now) and this trip was especially nostalgic as we did a memorial for dad. Having such a warm, comfortable, and well-appointed place to land made it all truly easy and a great visit home.
