Stefano's apartment is absolutely lovely and CLEAN! Actually, it seemed like the garden apartment was newly refurbished and everything seems almost brand new. I travel to NYC for business and stayed during the weekday. It was only two of us but this would be a great apartment for a small family- there is a twin size bed and a separate bedroom that opens up to the garden as shown in the photos. The TV is small but seriously, this is a great neighborhood and you have no business being inside. For us, it was NBA finals, it was raining, and the apartment was so very comfortable we decided to order in and hang around the apt to watch the game. The bed was very comfortable and we had a really great nights rest. I personally loved waking up to the birds and looking at the garden.

Stefano was very friendly, helpful, and was quick to respond. He and his family live upstairs. This may pose a problem for people who take day time naps because you can hear them upstairs, I don't think there is a lot of insulation between the ceiling and floors BUT this is only a problem during the day and around dinner time. At night and early in the morning the family is on the 3rd floor, presumably where the bedrooms are and the place is dead silent. The only other issue is the wifi is spotty because the router is upstairs. This was a problem for my partner who was working from the apt but if you are checking email and less data absorbing searching you will be just fine.

There are tons of restaurants, bars- especially if you are a craft beer fan- and the train is nearby. I would DEFINITELY stay there again and recommend to friends.
