Monifa and Saint are amazing hosts.
We wanted a real New York experience and that’s exactly what we got!
The home is stunning (they kept many of the original features while renovating others to maintain comfort and convenience). The photos really don’t do it justice. If you are someone who appreciates history, you will fall in love with this home instantly (I did!).
I would definitely recommend running the dehumidifier during your stay. It’s a garden apartment so it naturally feels more humid down there. (Once we realized there was a dehumidifier we didn’t even notice.)
The subway is literally a 2 minute walk away. You can be in the heart of everything in 30 minutes and on the edge of Manhattan in about 15.
I would advise calling a cab/Lyft/uber to go home at night if you’re not familiar with the neighborhood but we always took the subway during the day - super convenient.
We have nothing but good things to say about our stay with Monifa and Saint. Such gracious, accommodating hosts. They went above and beyond and we can’t thank them enough!
