AMAZING. This apartment is itself a work of art, with its enormous window's looking out on Park Avenue, a beautiful old piano, a quirky 3-legged cat who will (after some cautious evaluation) hang out with an air of relaxed aplomb, floor-to-ceiling bookcases loaded with books about art, music, and NYC (I read the EB White book on NYC for the first time), a cool bathroom with a piping hot shower, and a fully equipped kitchen. More than the stuff, it's an oasis of cultured calm, and the perfect place to ease into the day, and to return to after hustling around the streets of NYC. Rachel is an amazing host, and met us at the door, walked us through the apartment, and even helped me set the table with flowers for my wife ahead of , time, and was incredibly flexible and generous about the timing of our arrival and departure (even let us store luggage so we could squeeze in one more thing on our list!), and immediately available by text or phone. And this place is on the 6 train, and a 15 minute walk at most from Penn. Anyway, I'll just summarize: if you're so lucky as to have a chance to stay here, take it with both hands and count yourself very lucky indeed.
