This appartement has our highest recommendations, being a charming and unique base for our stay in New York. We stayed here for two weeks and wish we could have stayed longer.
The appartement is absolutely beautiful, located in a small house in the middle of the historical part of the city and renovated and furnished with focus on quality and aesthetics, to match the historical surroundings of the building. Every room, besides the kitchen, was spacious, and the bathroom was very comfortable. Be aware that theres no dining area in the apartment and that the facilities for cooking are limited, but the kitchen has all the basics, including coffee machine and microwave. As the appartement is historical it has its quirks and charms thereafter, but the general condition of the appartement is outstanding. During our entire stay we clearly felt how there’s put effort and heart in the appartement and in our well-being.
The location is excellent and the area is perhaps the most charming part of New York. Here you get the calming feeling of being in a village, with smaller buildings, lots of green areas and local restaurants, cafes and bars. As the apartment is centrally located, there is some noise from the street. However, being a smaller street, the noise was not much compared to other places in the city and Lena thoughtfully provided earplugs.
Lena was a great host. She and her family lives upstairs and Lena was attentive to our every need and very easy to communicate with.
The appartement was in walking distance from downtown and midtown, while uptown was easily accessible by a metro line 50 meters away.
If we are coming back to New York, we would definitely like to stay here again.
