Location is perfect. Across the street from The Public Theater, around the corner from NYU and Washington Park and a block from the Subway. While it's 5 flights of stairs up, that gives you privacy and security and quiet in the middle of NYC. An is super nice and even decorated the place with fresh flowers on our arrival. She will also be happy to give you great restaurant recos in the neighborhood. The kitchen is NY-tight so don't plan on cooking much (but why would you). A very authentic NY apartment!
