This is a rare find in NYC. Kate and her property manager were both communicative and responsive. Apartment was very clean and well stocked for our visit. The outside patio is a nice bonus but know that there isn't much seating out there (1 small table and 1 chair). Check in and out were smooth and we were grateful to be able to leave our luggage in the apartment entry until 1:30 when we headed to the airport. Sofa bed option is available but like most sofa beds, the mattress and the "bar" make it less than a super comfy night of sleep. The front bedroom is not for light sleepers (earplugs help) as those coming and going in and out of the building don't realize there is a bedroom right there. It was a very comfortable space for 5 of us and we had a great time. Location is great for walking about in a neighborhood- plenty of food, drink and stores to access. I would return to this apartment and recommend it to others.
