Arainna's place is exactly as described. It's at the back of the building so is very quiet, I did't hear the neighbours whether in the building or the nearby bars/businesses. Arianna is quick to respond to messages though we had no reason to connect during the stay as her instructions were clear and the place is amazing. She went above and beyond to help us out with a late check-in. My friend and I stayed here for a long weekend over the NY marathon which I ran. The ground floor was appealing for the lack of stairs! The private courtyard is perfect to step out into for your morning coffee before the day sets in. The apartment has high ceilings and a lot of light to make it feel more spacious. The place had been cleaned and prepped, even the fridge interior was spotless (not experienced that before). The bed was extremely comfortable and large enough for two friends who both toss and turn a lot. The location is fantastic, I previously lived in NYC in the East Village and UES so wanted to stay in a different area, it's a few blocks away from the subway and local amenities, and we were able to explore by foot with Soho in easy reach. I frequently travel to NY for work so will definitely be looking forward to staying here again. I fully recommend booking a stay at Arianna's place. Thank you for a fantastic stay!
