What an amazing apartment in such a superb location.
Andrea and Jame's place is perfect as a base that becomes a home from home whilst visiting New York.
Close to 2 different subway stations there is a choice of a travel into Manhatten with journey times averaging around 20-30 mins. You can get to all the tourist sites in no time but have the additional bonus of returning to a luxury peaceful pad to unwind after a busy day exploring.
I visited with my Mum and Sister and so I personally used the sofa bed in the front room. All of us agreed the beds were super comfy and the linen super soft and cosy.
There was an abundance of towels available and the shower always had hot water available - even with 3 ladies showering.
The kitchen has all the essentials you need plus the bonus of 3 different coffee makers and a small supply of tea and coffee, plus oil, salt and pepper and some spices.
Supplying washing machine pods, washing up liquid and dishwasher pods is such a great touch. I've stayed in places where you have to go and buy these for a handful of washes so I really appreciated this kind and thoughtful gesture.
The hosts themselves are fantastic. Every time I had a question they were super quick to respond even if my question was ridiculous (a big thank you to them for that)
The apartment is spotless, peaceful and beautifully presented with original dutch features. It really has been lovingly restored.
The added bonus of a little suntrap garden out the back make this the perfect place to stay for any visit to New York.
Thank you both for letting us all stay. Hope I can stay again on a future visit.
