My longtime, seven-month stay in this lovely one-bedroom New York apartment hosted by Harry was absolutely wonderful. I am only sorry that the corona virus made it necessary to return home earlier than intended. The apartment is charming, sunny, and perfectly located on the Upper West Side. The large living room window of the apartment overlooks the garden and also has a working fireplace for the colder winter nights. The city is extremely accessible, with public transport of all stripes (subways for different lines, buses) and supermarkets (Trader Joe's and Whole Foods), cafés, restaurants and many of the best museums (Natural History, Guggenheim, the Met, Neue Gallerie) within walking distance from this vintage brownstone building. There is also a washer and dryer available at no cost in the building. Although the area is expensive, Trader Joe's and various bodegas make it possible to live well. Harry and Jill were extraordinarily welcoming, very hospitable and flexible hosts. I enjoyed their kind and lively hospitality at their home (directly above the apartment) and will very much miss living at #3 (which in many ways is now synonymous with New York City for me). I will most certainly visit them when next in New York, no matter how far into the future that may currently seem to be!
