Emily's place is an absolute treasure: a real haven within the bustle of the city, and a genuinely lovely space that feels like home from the moment you arrive.
For the whole course of the stay, the apartment was comfortable, elegantly designed, well-stocked with essentials, and felt safe and secure. When small issues arose, Emily helped to deal with them instantly, and was a lovely and gracious host from the moment of (easy, contact-free) arrival, to the simple, low stress departure.
In terms of the space itself, the extremely tall may struggle a little with the apartment being designed more for a shorter person, but speaking as a 6 foot 4 person who spent a month there, these issues are far more superficial than fundamental: the place is great at any height, and has high ceilings! The bathroom is a little cramped, but totally worth the exchange for the excellent shower water pressure! Similarly, its a small-ish bed, but a comfortable one.
Small details made a big difference: the newly installed air conditioning was a lifesaver in a NYC July that was sweltering. The plentiful side lights and lovely art everywhere made the whole space feel incredibly warm and welcoming. It's just a lovely place, and well worth staying at!
All of which is to say nothing of the neighbourhood! Prospect Leffert Gardens is a fantastic area - so close to the park, and to multiple subway stops. There are fantastic coffee shops, bars, bodegas and restaurants within minutes of the apartment, and the whole area is incredibly full of life and pleasant to walk around.
If you get the chance, then - stay here!
