What a fantastic place to stay. It was perfect for a month stay.
It has south-facing windows and is on the top floor, so it gets great light all day long! It also has a patio/balcony that overlooks the backyard (no street noise), where I drank my coffee each morning—AND you can see the Manhattan skyline from the balcony.
There’s a bodega at the end of the block, a grocery store 1.5 blocks away, and probably 20-30 bars and restaurants within a 4-5 min walk in all directions.
The apartment itself is well designed and laid out. I’m not a super chef by any means, but the stove, oven, and cookware was top end.
The sit/stand desk was an awesome bonus to work throughout the day.
The TV and sound bar were great. There’s also a tv and sound bar in the bedroom. My favorite thing to do in the morning while still lying in bed was ask the smart speaker to open the bedroom blackout curtain.
I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!!
If I was forced to give a critique, it would be about the combo clothes washer/dryer. I’d never used a combination one before—so it was mostly just my ignorance. Although he walked me through everything on the phone beforehand (so nice of him), it does take a lot longer than a separate washer and dryer (although you have the benefit of just throwing in a load and not having to remember to switch them to the dryer). It’s definitely a top-end newer machine. All in all, it did a perfect job cleaning and drying my clothes—just plan ahead and give yourself extra time to do laundry.
