The photos don't do justice to the stylish reality of Andre's place--also, the apartment was designed to make use of every square foot. Yes, the apartment is only 300 square feet, but nicely appointed, sparkling clean, and in a safe area. Parking did become an issue, though, so be aware: the apt. is on the same block as a school, and you must not park within two blocks during the school day or you will be ticketed. As travelers from Upstate NY the week school began in NYC, we did not know that! Thankfully, Andre remembered to tell us the night before and we moved our car in the early a.m. Great area, though, and Andre was responsive to all of my questions!
