Fantastic apartment, generously proportioned in a really solid, well built block. Right from the moment I stood outside the entrance door in my jetlagged state I knew I would love it! Beautiful cast iron work on the front door opening onto the wide marble-floored entrance hall.
A very welcome lift takes you to the top floor of the building where virtually no sound is heard from any other apartment other than people coming or going to or from the elevator. This you can only hear in the hallway of the apartment.

Inside, nearly every surface has a painting, print, poster or piece of sculpture displayed. The furniture is comfortable, practical and in keeping with the style of period the block was built in. This apartment is bigger than it looks in the photos and my New York friend jealously admitted it is much bigger than the apartment they live in!

The area is very well situated for eating out or in as there are loads of restaurants in the area as well as local delis and grocery shops. In fact everything you could possibly need is very close by.

The street isn't particularly noisy but as I was staying in the middle of "the city that never sleeps" I expected some noise. It was so warm I just put the air con on at night and the constant gentle hum lulled me to sleep very quickly after a busy day out walking and sightseeing!

Barry was very helpful throughout my stay and very communicative. We had a great time and I would definitely stay here again.
