Pictures of housing available upon request (6th/top floor of a townhouse with Empire State Building view, private newly renovated bedroom with cable tv and desk, staff bathroom, use of kitchen on same floor that family does not use, private washer/dryer on same floor that family does not use, but there is no private entrance to this room as it is on the top level inside their home, so a housekeeper enters the home the same way the family does via the front door and either takes the stairs or the elevator up to where her space is). The home is located a half block (30 second walk) to Central Park and the Met Museum.
