Amazing neighbourhood, gorgeous apartment, helpful, friendly, exceptionally accommodating and very generous hosts. And cute dog.

S&G were lovely to me, accommodated my last minute request, later -than-planned arrival, and gave me travel details to help me make the most of moving around on a very tight schedule.

If you're thinking about it, do it. The area is one of the coolest in Manhattan with great shops, coffee shops and restaurants right on their doorstep (Fresco for breakfast coffee and wifi, Abraca for great espresso and Veselka for late night chicken soup and Ukrainian specialities)

If I'm back in town, I'll be going back to theirs hopefully...
