I really loved Marek’s stylish garden apartment, which was huge and comfortable with modern design elements, fixtures, and appliances. If I had the luxury of designing my own place, it would look like this. Check-in was easy, with a helpful overview of the unit and neighborhood. Very convenient to the subway, too — it was super easy to zip in and out of Manhattan, where I was working most days. There are some great restaurants around, and all the row houses/brownstones on the street are very architecturally striking.
The only drawback was the audible footsteps overhead that began early in the morning (I’m a light sleeper and noise sensitive). The footsteps went on with very few pauses for a few hours, along with some other noises. At the same time, these buildings are old and some noise is to be expected — and I’m sure those upstairs were trying to be careful. I should add too that the evenings were perfectly quiet and tranquil (especially for New York). Anyway, just a heads up to the noise sensitive!
