Traveling with our son and daughter-in-law -- their first time NYC! -- we were generally delighted with this unique "Old New York" style brownstone apartment. Located on a lovely tree-lined street 1/2 block from Central Park, it is ideally suited for two couples.
The large bedrooms are nicely spaced downstairs, away from the main public living areas upstairs, and we especially appreciated the very comfortable beds, the excellent showers (with great water pressure), the A/C and fans and the TVs in each room (although lacking in the living room). The kitchen, though small, is well-equipped and the front-facing dining room is a lovely place for a quick snack or more leisurely meal.
Strong wifi, easy access to supermarkets, including Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods, and a range of public transportation options add to the charm and convenience of the apartment. Francesca and Jack were available, occasionally in person, always via email, to respond to questions and concerns. As frequent AirBnB’ers, we have a strong basis for comparison and this duplex apartment, with it’s wonderful back garden, ranks high on our list of favorites.
