My friend andI lived like New Yorkers for three days at Robert's place.. We braved the 4th floor walk-up and felt a thrill each time we walked back out into the vibrant neighborhood. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom has nice fixtures and a great shower, and the apartment was very clean. It was a perfect home base from which two people can explore the city. There is a Boulangerie with great coffee and pastries on the corner, several markets, and every type of food you could want within walking distance. Robert's place is equipped for cooking small meals, too. We will definitely go back.
