We booked this apartment at the very last minute, literally two hours before our arrival. Vance was very communicative under those circumstances. Her place turned out to be warmer and more comfortable than the pictures suggest and it was a perfect base for our last minute New York weekend getaway. The location is fabulous - with many great restaurants of every variety and two great late night jazz clubs just around the corner and within several blocks of the building. Central park is 4 blocks away and Riverside Park along the Hudson River is a block in the other direction. Vance was easy to reach and accommodating and we would use her apartment again in the future and recommend it to others.
