My brother and I stayed in Sky's apartment for a week and had a fantastic time. The location near Little Italy and Soho was second to none with a huge range of eating and shopping options on her doorstep and all around the immediate neighbourhood. Subway access was within a 2 minute walk. Our parents stayed uptown and were jealous of the options in our neighbourhood.
Whilst the apartment is compact there are two separate bedrooms with a separate lounge and very functional kitchen. The apartment temperature was always comfortable and so we were able to co-habitate without living on top of each other. Bathroom has bath and shower which was great after a long flight from Australia.
Sky was very welcoming with her legendary cup cakes from one of the great sweet option on the same street.
The only item to be aware of is that the apartment is on the top floor with quite a few stairs so no problem for an able bodied person but something to be conscious of if you are not able to deal with many stairs.
Truly grateful for being able to experience NYC first hand and would happily return to Sky's place if I am back in NYC. Many thanks Sky!
