A small but wonderful, airy nest, with nice light, beautiful decor, and artistic touches. The surrounding streets are among NYC's most vibrant--great cafes, restaurants, yoga studios, boutiques, food market. A few short blocks from four subway lines and a wonderful walk to several others. The building itself is a basic walk-up--no doorman or other bells and whistles--with an interesting mix of longtime family residents and newer-arriving hipsters. Not a lot of space for clothes etc. for a long stay but fine for shorter periods. I stayed happily for three weeks and would gladly return.
