WOW!
Take it from me, a born and raised New Yorker who grew up nearby - Jillian's amazing place is a super comfortable, authentic, SPARKLING clean, and spacious apartment in one of NYC's most exciting neighbourhoods!
It really is rare to stay in a gem like this in New York these days, especially at the price - the value is unbeatable! With a minimal, high end design, the apartment has been refurbished to a beautiful standard - especially the bathroom with its Spanish-style blue tiles. Anybody who's stayed in an apartment in Manhattan can tell you that bathrooms are never a highlight, but this apartment instantly makes you forget that old cliche. The pics don't do it justice!
And I cannot even tell you just how clean the entire place is!! From the dishes in the kitchen, right down to the floorboards and bedding, you'll be impressed (as I was) for sure.
It's worth mentioning as well that Jillian lives in the building and is a grade A+++ host, always available to help with anything you might need, including storing my bags in her flat for an entire day as I ran around town for business meetings.
Within 10-min walking distance to the subway (uptown / downtown 6 from 116th), across the street from the very cute Thomas Jefferson Park, and some great local legendary dining establishments (cue Patsy's Pizzeria and Haji's famous chopped cheese, to name a couple - good luck getting a table at Rao's), Jillian's place is the perfect spot to enjoy anywhere from a long weekend to a whole month. Do yourself a favour and book now!
