this place is a super sweet find! More charming than photographed.. felt like a real quintessential village apartment in NYC - in a good way:).. loved it's feel and artistic flair - super cozy and yes, it really was super quiet. The hosts answered my questions almost immediately and were very flexible and chill. I can't say more about the neighborhood. I grew up in the New York area and love to go back for weekends. This neighborhood is currently one of the most charming. I could have stayed in a few block radius the whole weekend with cafes and eateries and good coffee, etc. all within two blocks.. I would highly recommend this spot and was so happy to have found it!
