We loved this place! It was big, bright, beautiful, and clean. Comfy bed, nice new bathroom, I even had a kettle to heat water for tea on the gas range. It's the little things that count.

We noticed lots of extra linens and blankets in the closet and plenty of extra storage space if you have big bags and more stuff than we had for our short two-day trip. I wish we could have stayed for longer (maybe we will next time!)

The location itself is great, too. It's quiet and neighborhoody, but there are quite a few food/bev places to walk to (many of which Kristian has mapped out and printed for your convenience). The A-C-E Utica stop is really close (like a 2-3 minute walk) and has express trains into Manhattan.

Kristian, our host, contacted us right after we made the reservation so we could coordinate our arrival. We had opposite schedules, but he made sure we arrived and got into the apartment with ease. He was great about following up on how we were enjoying the apartment and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our stay, which we certainly did.

We would love to stay here again!
