Fabulous Apartment
Review Submitted: September 5, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2009
I've been renting apartments in various cities for years and this is without a doubt one of the best - very spacious, lots of storage for clothes and suitcases. It has a sleek, modern vibe - and was expensively appointed with two plasma TVs, including a 60 inch Pioneer in the living room.
The two bathrooms are opulent, with granite floors and walls - both equipped with shower stalls and rainshower heads.
The building itself is amazing - the entrance hall and library lounge on the ground floor are worthy of a design mag - there's also a beautifully landscaped terrace and reflecting pool with plenty of lounge seating on the 25th floor (available to all residents, including guests). There's also a doorman, a concierge and the elevator service is fast.
The location is great - 4,5, R/N/W subway lines are a block away. You're a block away from Broadway, with tons of shops including a large Borders store at the corner of Pine and Broadway. There's a large drug store across the street. Zeytunas (a gourmet grocery store) and Gristedes (a more basic grocery store) are an easy two minute walk from the building, if you want to stalk up on breakfast/snack items. Les Halles (a French bistro on John St.) is a quick five minute walk, as are numerous restaurants down on Stone St., a section of which is a quaint cobblestoned pedestrian only strip given over to restaurants with outdoor seating.
Lastly, Maura and Kenny who looked after our booking and check-in were attentive and very helpful, especially when our scheduled flight into Newark was cancelled, delaying our check-in by a day. They also accommodated a late check-out at the end of our stay.
I would definitely book this apartment again on my next trip to NYC.
