This is simply an excellent apartment! The duplex is very light, spacious and beautifully decorated. Just like in the pictures. Everything is at hand and there's even a cozy garden. The location is great: a quiet street with restaurants and shops just around the corner. Subway access is only a few blocks away, so you can be in downtown Manhattan in no time. Claudia is a very kind and thoughtful host. We met her briefly, but she could always be contacted if we had any questions. Fantastic value. We can't wait to go back!
