Gabriella’s place was absolute perfection. First off, the location is great:
1) on the same block as the subway
2) around the corner from the ever-adorable Carmine Street
3) walking distance to fantastic shops in NoLIta
Secondly, the apartment itself is great:
1) spectacular taste in decorations
2) fully stocked kitchen, including dishwasher, Nespresso, tea
3) newly renovated, which felt way nicer than usual NYC digs
4) awesome little private garden patio, perfect for drinks on a warm NYC night
5) washing machine/dryer saved us when we got our stuff soaked in the rain
Lastly, Gabriella and her assistants are great:
1) immediately responsive via text
2) manages any issues without hesitation (toilet backed up, she had it fixed immediately without having us wait around - her assistant managed it all for us)
3) super nice and just genuinely lovely, helpful with tips and advice on city life
No doubt we will stay here again
