I spent a wonderful week at Palma’s beautiful, sunny place. She is delightful, and everyone I met in the hallway or on the stairs was friendly (a rather uncommon experience for me in NYC Airbnbs). Kitchen is well-supplied for cooking and the bed was extremely comfortable. There are lovely, thoughtful touches everywhere. Fantastic location with restaurants, juice bars, and food specialty stores steps away, and 2 subway stations within a 5 minute walk.
Please note these possible drawbacks: there are 3 flights of stairs to climb, and in the evening you may hear the muffled sounds of happy diners from Palma’s restaurant. For me, the stairs were worth it for a top floor apartment with lots of natural light (skylights!) and the buzz of people enjoying themselves was part of this place’s charm. This is a space with soul.
