I cannot recommend this apartment highly enough, it is absolutely wonderful and I can’t imagine a more special place to stay in New York. When my two friends Breda, Rosie and I started our search for a place to base ourselves during a 3 night stay in Manhattan we whittled the ‘maybes’ down to about 7 or 8 places, including apartments and a couple of hotels. Jenny and Emily responded to all our queries promptly and very informatively which supported us in making the decision to book their particular townhouse. All I can say is we definitely made the right decision and were so privileged to stay in a beautiful traditional brownstone townhouse, two blocks from both Central Park and the subway. Jenny was there to meet us on our arrival and was just so warm and lovely, telling us about the history of her beautifully-maintained characterful home, recommending restaurants, theatre and music events whilst inviting us to use the coffee maker, kettle, water cooler, toaster and fridge for the duration of our stay (provided in the foyer and sitting area at entry level to the property). The two bedrooms on the next floor up easily accommodated three separate sleepers in very comfortable beds fitted with quality bed linen and the separate shower/ toilet on the same floor was spotlessly-maintained and well-equipped with towels, a hairdryer etc. There are plenty of cupboards and closets available in both bedrooms and also hanging space in the entrance hall, adding to the home from home feel and reducing the inevitable clutter that arises from three 50-something year olds sharing a space! The property is an absolute haven of peace and tranquility in a stylish residential street of brownstone townhouses in the midst of Manhattan and the setting or the property itself could not be more perfect. The townhouse is within 5 minutes walk of wonderful restaurants including Kirsh for breakfast and pastries and Barney Greengrass for brunch, both on Amsterdam Avenue and Bela Luna on Columbus Avenue for dinner. Jenny took the time to chat to us before our yellow cab transfer to JFK and was so interesting and kind; we each feel her personality added to the magical experience of this trip. Thank you, Jenny and Emily, for making our trip so perfect in your exceptionally beautiful home.
