An authentic Manhattan experience! There were so many positive aspects to this stay I don't even know where to begin. Paul basically saved me from a bad situation with a Manhattan hotel past 11 pm and went above and beyond in being kind and accommodating to make sure I had a comfy bed for that same night. He can talk to you as if you have been friends for years, and he is also respectful of your space if you prefer not to interact. But I recommend you do chat with him - what an intelligent, fun, generous, and open soul Paul is! The house is gorgeous, very artistic, and the bedroom is very spacious. The desk in the bedroom was convenient for working remotely. The internet was fast enough for Zoom calls ( it slowed down a bit when uploading files - Paul mentioned that this issue could be solved by restarting the modem).
The apartment has a beautiful and relaxing view of the trees from a park right across from it, and you would be missing it if you didn't take advantage of the terrace with the colorful seats and the solar lighted umbrella.
The building is safe and very close to the subway, very easy to get around all over town.
I'm very thankful for my time at Paul's!
