Had an extended stay at Agnes' place for 3 weeks, and in that time it became a home away from home. Very comfortable homely place, warm & inviting. Well outfitted especially in the kitchen. Yes, there are several flights of steps, but as Agnes had nicely put it, this is your NY gym, and her husband kindly helped us with the luggage when we arrived. Great location, walking distance to the metro. But there is a price to pay for the location - parking! Made worse by the alternate day parking Tues/Weds. I got to know the streets around there very well for having to circle to find a park. But apart parking, highly recommended home
