This garden apartment was a cozy and eclectic base for our recent weekend in New York. The space is literally (no pun intended!) wall to wall to with books— on the rainy and cold afternoon that we arrived, we ended up staying in and felt like we were at a destination in itself. The apartment has two bedrooms, and the common area has an additional bed/couch; four of us stayed there together comfortably. We weren't able to take advantage of the outdoor space because of the weather, but that was particularly large and could accommodate a nice gathering when it's nice outside. And we enjoyed the location; while the apartment is well uptown, it's around the corner from a subway station if you're going downtown.
Lastly, Kurt is a gracious host who will give you the rundown on the home, neighborhood, and the city as a whole. This is a really unique, cool place to stay for a stretch in the city!
