Feel like we hit the jackpot of 'best places to stay' for a visit to NYC. The property was absolutely magical and exactly as listed, exceeding our expectations. Fantastic historic NYC vibe and location was perfect... allowing us to see a different part of the city, but in very close proximity to the subway as a straight shot to most of Manhattan. We really enjoyed the old library vibe, perusing the book selection and listening to the wide array of vinyl available. The outside garden contributed to the romantic vibe, like having your own secret garden. Kurt was so helpful throughout, readily available when needed, and offered wealth of information on the area and city. Property had all the necessary amenities... two beds, fully equipped kitchen and bath. laundry and groceries across the street and food/coffee close by. Also, spent quite a bit of time in the sitting area outlooking the garden. Great place overall. Can't recommend highly enough. Grateful to have found this gem to make our stay even more memorable and special.
