This apartment is very pleasant, lots of windows, very well equipped kitchen, and very nicely decorated. The two flights of stairs up from the street are not very long or steep. The location is very near the train to Manhattan. Paco and Pamela were responsive to our messages. We were in agreement as to taking care of their two cats, feeding them and changing their kitty litter. However, the cats were a huge drawback for us. There is no way to shut them off from the bedroom, and one of them awakened us several nights and in the early mornings, either by jumping on the bed, and/or knocking items over while playing in the dark. Both cats also repeatedly jumped up onto the kitchen counters and sink area and were obviously quite used to spending time there. We found it very unappealing to have them up there on the surfaces where we prepared our food. I also found it a little disconcerting to see them clawing the couch and the kitchen floor mat, and worried that something I owned might be next. I did enjoy petting the cats, and did not mind feeding them and cleaning their kitty litter. However, the cats were a big negative to our experience in staying here. If you can get past that, this is a nice place to stay.
