We absolutely loved our stay at Francesca’s place. The neighborhood is safe and pretty quiet (for NY!) and easy walk to several subway lines to get you downtown in minutes. It’s also a 2 min walk from Central Park which was amazing with kids. Having a full house for an extended family stay was perfect.
The apartment is as described by Francesca and is full of vintage items collected by the owners but it doesn’t seem “precious” at all rather it seems like a family home. The only people I wouldn’t recommend this for is if you don’t want stairs as there are two steep staircases (one that has a very authentic ‘old NY’ lean to it!).
We would definitely recommend this place and stay again if we returned to NY for an extended period.
Francesca’s communication was quick and helpful. Thank you Francesca!
