Susan's space is absolutely amazing. The photos honestly do not do it justice - in the sitting area there are legitimately 3 different couches, in addition to 2 other chairs to sit in. Also in the sitting area are two different desks to work effectively at. Having the many options of places to sit was great. This is definitely the largest apartment I have ever seen in New York.
The kitchen, bedroom and bathroom and outdoor space is fabulous as well. Susan was so gracious and provided pans, coffee, and a few additional kitchen essentials such as olive oil. The stove in the kitchen is extremely high end and was great to use. I made several meals during my stay.
As I noted above, the outdoor space was fabulous. We had a friend come and sit on the deck and we had an amazing afternoon. The deck is HUGE and can fit 5 people comfortably.
While I enjoyed my stay immensely, I did want to note that the Wifi in the apt was a bit slow, especially for working from home. The wifi couldn't handle zoom calls for example- I often had to call in on my phone to take calls. Additionally, while this is not a big deal, the TV in the bedroom had regular cable and was not a smart TV. The only improvement this apt could ever need is a slightly upgraded Wifi connection and maybe a Fire stick.
Susan truly is a wonderful host and I cannot wait to stay with her again.
