Simone's place was great, especially for pricey New York City. Her place is a short walk to the subway and some great locations including the Irish pub, Italian bakery, and Italian deli down the street. She was very nice to have offered us breakfast and snacks. The only bad thing was a section of the wall that was formerly a window. Unfortunately it does not block sound from the next room. However, it was generally quiet and did not keep us up.
