This is a beautiful apartment. Yes, the building is older. But having stayed in quite a few places in NYC over the years, this has top notch amenities like 1) a REALLY comfortable bed; 2) amazing location with a subway stop just steps away and a bus stop just a few more steps away; 3) SPACE! This is a rare find in NYC. I had to work and it was really great to not do that in the same space a bed is located. A lot of folks have written about the art in the apartment. It is filled with beautiful pieces that grow more enchanting with every day you spend and esp, if you have the benefit of Lucien's amazing knowledge about the pieces. Lots of great places to eat and drink around and a Trader Joe's nearby. And lastly, Lucien. Une perle rare. Merci pour tout Lucien!
