Allie's appartment is very cosy and warm and the location next to Union Sq is fantastic to move around the city. There are plenty of nice restaurants and bars in the area so itbis a very good place to get to know New York. Allie was very flexible with us and responded promptly to the messages although we could have done with a bit more information about the area and a city map for the arrival. For the rest I recommend this appartment. It is nicely decorated, has the basics to survive in terms of crockery etc and is warm. The building has a very newyorky feeling although they could do with a scrub on the common areas.
