This apartment is such a gem! I have stayed in dozens of AirBnBs in NYC and this is one of my absolute favorites.The skylight creates the most lovely diffuse lighting. There are chirping birds in huge tree outside the window, giving it the aura of a true escape from the city. Other than the chirping birds and the children from the school downstairs on weekdays, it is very quiet. It's particularly quiet at night! The location is wonderfully central, with easy access to Union Square and surrounding neighborhoods.
Inside it is warm, cozy, and classy. The furniture, lighting, well-placed mirrors, and amazing collection of books make it feel like home. Everything has been thought of.
Liz herself is an amazing host. She is very communicative and easy to talk to.
There are five flights of stairs, so be warned! It's good exercise ;).
