This apartment is located in a diverse middle class neighborhood. It's a in a beautiful brownstone building. The host was warm and generous. We arrived at lunch time, after a long flight to find the fridge filled with fruits, eggs and juice and snacks. My forever hungry teenager was ecstatic. I am just grateful. The host thought of everything. There were rain coats in the cupboards so when the summer rain arrived, we need not worry. The apartment is very tastefully furnished. It has not got a washing machine or dryer but the laundromat is just 5 minutes walk away. The subway station is about 10 minutes walk away and you can virtually go anywhere from there. We bought the weekly ticket and explored New York to our hearts content. It's a fabulous stay.
