Okay, the very first thing you have to know about Amy’s place is how absolutely perfect it is! If you’re planning a city stay, this apartment is a must. It is absolutely a hole-away-from-home and is a very close walk to the nearest subway lines and they run right into the city without transferring. The view is beautiful at night and the neighborhood was very safe. As far as the interior of the apartment goes, this place was a dream! The entire place is very well thought out as far as amenities and layout are concerned. (And it’s huge! Coming from California I’m used to my space and I didn’t feel New York cramped at all!) The living room has ample seating and the thoughtful addition of the coat rack in the entry is a huge plus if you’re visiting in the colder months. The natural light in this room is so bright and energizing, and it was lovely to be able to watch my movies on the TV. The kitchen is stocked with the basics and does come with a fridge for bringing home delicious treats and a gas range/oven for cooking if you’re deciding to stay in. Don’t forget that Seamless will also deliver here if you’re in a pinch (though I did meet them on the steps as I didn’t want them ringing the doorbell and disturbing the residents). The bedroom was spacious and beyond adorable - the photos do not do it justice! Gorgeous natural light and drapes for privacy, ample closet and clothing storage spaces, a comfy bed and a heater, just in case. I’m also a sucker for exposed brickwork so this space was just perfect. I was easily able to store all my empty luggage in this room and never felt like it was impeding the available space. There’s even a bench at the foot of the bed! But my favorite part of the entire apartment was the bathroom. It’s bright and colorful and feels very recently updated. Also, in keeping with the theme, very spacious. Definitely large enough for two people to get ready for the day at the same time. There’s a medicine cabinet for your use as well as a small table to the left of the sink for toiletries as there isn’t counter space. The tub/shower threw me at first - it was oddly tall to me and didn’t have a shower curtain, which I needlessly worried about at first. I shouldn’t have. No water spills out, just trust me the first time you turn everything on. What’s incredibly considerate is how the shower and tub are laid out: every fixture has its own control (tub spout, rain shower head, handheld shower head) so you can customize where your water comes from. Even better than that is the temperature control gauge! In the middle of winter I could step into the shower and *know* I was getting hot water and that I wouldn’t have to stand in cold water...
