This place is a beautiful, peaceful, breath of fresh air in the middle of a bustling city neighborhood that has it all. My husband and I travelled from CA to NY be with my mom for surgery. We chose this place knowing we'd need a peaceful place to quarantine, and to work, while out here for 5 weeks. This place did not disappoint! It looks exactly as pictured: impeccably clean, very newly updated, beautiful artwork, lots of natural and indoor lighting, a comfy bed with simple yet elegant, high-end bedding, and a cute backyard area that provides a mini nature retreat. It's close to many great local restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores, most of which deliver. Karine even set up a desk for us in the bedroom so we can have a second workspace, in addition to the dining room table. Wifi was spotty at times, which was frustrating since but we both have tech jobs that require a solid, high-speed, broadband connection, but once we figured out the best spots for each of us to work, it worked out well enough. As others have noted, we did hear sounds from upstairs and outside, but since we're originally from NY and NJ, it's not anything new, so it didn't bother us. Lastly, Karine and Monika are excellent, attentive, welcoming, responsive, and flexible hosts. We enjoyed each interaction with them, whether attending to a request, or exchanging mail/package deliveries that went to the wrong person (we had a lot of deliveries!), or just bumping into each other in passing. They really have something special here!
