Another wonderful stay in Patricia's warm, cozy, comfortable and incredibly well-located apartment. Please see my June review for a more specific details. Everything still stands.
The apartment is very comfortable. A little too comfortable. It was tempting to hang out a little to long in it instead of getting out early to enjoy every possible moment of this beautiful city.
As before I went to museums everyday, and the theatre almost every evening. I ventured a little further afield this time and found out how super easy and fast it was to get down to the East Village and the Whitney Museum over in the Meatpacking District. The buses around Patricia's apartment make everything so simple and convenient. I'm a solo traveler and found the neighborhood and the city in general very safe. I often walked at night with no issues at all.
On a non-cultural note, there is a really nice gourmet market (Butterfields) on the next block and a bigger, more general market just a little bit further in the other direction. Many nice restaurant options nearby. Also this time I found a designer discount women's clothing store with four stories worth of interesting things at good prices. Fox's over on 3rd Avenue about 4 blocks away.
It's so nice to have Central Park literally half a block away. It makes everything have such a lovely peaceful ambiance. Very calming amidst all the excitement of the city.
Patricia continues to be a warm, generous, personable, welcoming host who want to make sure your stay is perfect. I'm hoping to be back in March to enjoy her lovely apartment once again.
