Apartment in a typical brownstone house in the UWS, great location and a lot of space (even though we could not enjoy the private backyard because of the cold weather, my kids had a lot of space to play inside and in the basement). We weren't there for tourism in New York City, so we actually "lived" in the house for 10 days, cooking meals (the kitchen is great!), washing clothes, working and playing and we found everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. We haven't met Dirk in person, but he was very easy to communicate with and for sure has good taste in furnishing. The only "negative" point, if I must mention anything that could be improved, is the lack of storage room in the second bedroom. Otherwise, everything was great!
