We stayed for ten days at Emily's house. The appartement has such a charming atmosphere, where you feel home from the very first moment. Jenny, Emily's daughter, gave us very good advice in what was interesting tot visit. As an artist herself she knows what is really worthwhile. We had very interesting conversations, although it never interfered with our privacy.
The neighborhood is tranquil but with many good restaurants and the subway nearby it is nice is is a perfect location.
If you want to stay in New York and don't like the hotel life, this really is the place to be!
