with him but still owns the apartment and periodically uses it as a workspace. Bradshaw still owns the apartment as a pied-à-terre in And Just Like That, and has given it another renovation. Following Big's death, she feels uneasiness in the Fifth Avenue apartment they shared, and sells it and moves back into her old apartment. The series also shows the never-before-seen lobby and downstairs apartment in the complex. Filming The interior of Bradshaw's apartment was a set built on a soundstage, while the exterior of the apartment building was shot at various brownstones before settling at 66 Perry Street in the third season, which was used for the remainder of the series due to its ornate staircase. The exterior, sometimes called the "Bradshaw brownstone", is a popular tourist destination in the West Village, which has led to residents complaining about frequent visitors. Owners have hung chains from the stairs to prevent people from posing for photos on the stairs and requested the address be blurred on Google Maps. The apartment has been variously described as a one-bedroom and a studio apartment, though it would be categorized as an "alcove studio" as there is no division between the sleeping area and living room. The apartment was designed by Sex and the Citys production designer Jeremy Conway. Conway selected the apartment's furnishings to contrast her designer clothing, saying "What she's wearing is where she spends her money, and her apartment is secondary to that. So we started 'flea-ing' and using found pieces she might reupholster."
