This apartment is indeed sunny & bright; was bright even on a rainy day. Being on the top floor means it's very quiet; I don't think you even share a wall with another unit. The windows look out on the back of the house, and onto a quiet side street (however the street in front is not really very busy.) We loved being close to Hudson St. Deli, and of course the park was great for walks & people watching; it is used by all ages. Great restaurants, bakeries, and ethnic convenience stores all within walking distance. Kitchen appliances very classy; with plenty of cookware & dishes. And the "vintage" decor in the apt is also classy, charming and immaculately clean.
