Location, location, location! Joanna's place is on a quiet street but very near to Union Square - so very convenient for catching the train just about anywhere, as well as exploring the East Village and West Village. Great restaurants and sweet shops nearby, too, including Everyman Espresso right next door.
Joanna showed us great hospitality. We enjoyed the wonderful artwork on display and the comfortable and homey feel of this brownstone. Thanks so much, Joanna!
