Overall, great stay. Was there for about four weeks on a work trip, and the place was walking distance to Steiner Studios, where I was based while in NY, which made it perfect location-wise. Hostess was super attentive and constantly checking to see if we needed anything, which included extra towels, TP, a microwave (though it was originally included in the listing), and flowers just to spruce up the vibe.
In fact, she was so attentive, she offered to upgrade my gf and I to one of her larger apartments, once it became available, which we accepted. On the surface, this was great. It’s an older building and while both apartments retain some of that antique charm, the second spot was a lot bigger and had a more updated bathroom, albeit smaller than the one associated with this listing. Both had great natural light via the skylights.
The biggest issue was that the second apt’s bedroom seemed to be super close to some pigeon/squirrel nesting area and they were just super loud and active, which made it difficult to sleep through the night sometimes. Also, much bigger space so the radiators did not fill the space with heat as well as the first spot. So if given a similar choice, I would definitely recommend staying in the apt associated with this listing versus going to the other one.
Something to keep in mind, especially for the west coasters who are used to one story dwellings, this is a third floor walk up so adjust expectations accordingly lol. Oh and this has nothing to do with the spot but I recommend using Uber Eats vs Postmates. Several times, my Postmates delivery was nowhere to be found after they supposedly dropped it off.
All in all, great time. Thanks Johanna!
