What a delight! My girlfriend and I stayed at Michael's apartment for 11 nights on our first ever trip to NY. Perfectly balanced location for those looking for peace and quiet at a stone's throw from buzzing Manhattan. Handily, Michael also lives in a separate space in the same building- making him quick to answer any queries, but also away enough to not feel like you're intruding. His knowledge of the local area very handy (Grass Roots Juicery anyone?! We went every morning of our stay!)
A very simple, but well edited and stylish apartment- and surprisingly relatively roomy too for the price/NY. Modern kitchen and bathroom with a nod to the historic building it resides in. Great natural light throughout the day, and with most of the artificial lights on dimmers- an after hours mood to suit all as well. More than ample storage throughout - wardrobe, shelving, bathroom, kitchen, you name it (we could literally move right in!)
Would definitely recommend, and will stay here again next time I'm in town.
