Living in this parlor apartment was like walking into the picture! It was exactly like it looks and we felt very much at home in it. The queen bed was VERY cosy and comfy and I'm home considering an update to my own bedding now that I've slept in Evelyn's!
We love a little patina from the old days:), so the building held its appeal.
We enjoyed having the basic kitchen facilities to make a cup of tea and nosh on delights acquired just down the street.
The shower pressure was great and hot water strong. Evelyn had lots of city guide books to browse and we found that helpful in planning our week.
The neighbourhood was sweet! We loved the 'casual yet with a pulse' feel of it and we felt so central to everything. It was easy to walk to the subway (once we figured out our directions!!) so the whole of Manhattan was easily accessed.
Prior to arriving, Evelyn was available by email so we were able to organize our arrival. Collecting the key after the usual check in time was easily accomplished- just as she promised.
Our room was tidied a couple of times through the week and Evelyn was available via phone to answer questions. Everything we needed was taken care of, yet we had our privacy and could better sense what living in the village might be like for locals.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who can manage a few steps in and up to the room. The neighbourhood has a great feel and for our first airbnb experience this was a perfect choice. Thank-you Evelyn!
