Kathleen's apartment is perfect for a NY sojourn: long or short. Our expectations had been set up by the lovey images and apartment lives up to the promise. The pictures do not do justice to the airy, light filled double height living spaces that makes the apartment feel expansive.
The apartment, a short ride away from all of NY's mid town to downtown attractions, is snugly located in the tree lined streets of Gramercy area with all its buzzing attractions of local café, bars, art galleries and the famed Union Square with its farmer's market. Best part of our stay was the communal rooftop located atop 7th floor of the building, with its wooden decking and furniture, offering spectacular views that include One trade centre, Empire state and Chrysler building.
The apartment block itself is worth a stay for its history. Constructed as a hospital in 1900, the building was internally reconfigured into its current avatar as apartment buildings in 1960s, and retains its sense of old world charm in many of its architectural detailing.
Kathleen was quick to reply to our queries and and accommodated our request for a late check out. Highly recommend a stay here.
