My family and I just returned home after 5 days in NYC. We stayed in Francesca's duplex, and it was great, wonderful, and relaxing all rolled into one.
The duplex is beautiful, clean, and offers a family of 4 a great space in which to reside while visiting the city! Francesca has some nice artwork placed throughout her home, so if you visit, please pay attention to the different portraits and paintings on display.
Francesca has performed a great restoration of the duplex and it retains a historical look and feel while offering some modern conveniences, like the jacuzzi tub.
My wife and I agree that we would love to stay there again, if the opportunity is available!
Staying here, you are less than a block from Central Park, a 5 minute walk to the Subway, and if you prefer, Uber drivers are always in the area. For a longer stay, you have nice restaurants within a 10 minute walk, and you have several grocery stores that are quickly accessible. The surrounding area/neighborhood is great.
Francesca provides a great listing of local businesses that she recommends, and made several specific recommendations for us on the day that we arrived. A great host. Thank you for allowing us to stay Francesca. It truly added to our NYC experience!
