I stayed in this apartment for approximately three months and have to say that this is the ideal apartment for a true SoHo experience. The apartment is beautiful and endearing in its modesty. From sunrise to sunset, the space is bathed in natural light so radiant that indoor electric lighting is practically pointless and redundant, and it plays so well with the towering ceilings that the whole apartment feels twice its size. The decoration is well-thought, fresh, and complementary to the overall aesthetic. The location is great, with everything worth going to within walking distance. There are pockets of bustling restaurants and shops interspersed around the apartment in every direction so there really is no shortage of places to go, even with Covid. Some would view the “6th floor with no elevator” as a detriment but I thought it added to exclusivity and appeal of the apartment. You’re rewarded with a lovely sky-light as the top floor apartment, and your view is practically that of a rooftop. I liken it less to punishment by cardio and more to climbing Rapunzel’s tower, but it’s sure to help get the blood flowing after a full-day sitting down while Working From Home. The chai tea spot, as well as the restaurant and wine shop downstairs were both great and very welcoming. The bodega is a block away for quick purchases, and if need be, Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods are also a 5-7 minute walk away. Olivia, the host, was always available at the drop of a hat to answer questions and was accommodating from the moment I met her.
This apartment is the place to be for your next stay. I know that this has become my new golden standard for AirBnBs.
