I stayed here last weekend - with my very generous hosts, and felt like a peasant dressed as a princess. The amenities! At one point, I became verklempt - did I forget the key fob to get to the lounge floor with the coffee!? OMG! They're gonna kick me out! Oh, but wait - it's no problem, just ask the CONCIERGE! I love this. I want to live here permanently.

If I could afford one of these bad boys, better believe I'd have one. The level of service and quality and elegance here at the Ritz - and at most of the Ritz properties is stuffed with stars. I sometimes get intimidated with this level of unrelenting upscale surroundings, but I quickly relax and love it, and start to think I belong there (ha, ha!). Like I did last weekend. I practically had to be dragged kicking and screaming to go back home. *sigh*

For what it is, it's a good deal. And in this market, prices are dropping. Here you have a gorgeous, spacious city apartment with all amenities. Concierge, lounge, free breakfast, wine and cheese parties, housekeeping, valet - all the good stuff. It's a life most people (me) only dream about, but here it's reality. If you buy one of these, you can also stay at any Ritz property around the world for FREE. That is a damn value!

Some people are rich, and some are not. And some people - who are not rich - live a million dollar lookin' frugal fashionista lifestyle for a fraction of that. Someone wanna buy one of these bad boys for me? Free coffee, breakfast and wine and cheese - think of all the money you'll save!
