My husband, cousin, and I had a lovely stay in this apartment. The beds were comfortable (for our standards) and the apartment is quite thoughtfully stocked. There really wasn’t a thing that any of us could complain about. Communication was pretty solid, too.
I happen to always live in major cities (Seattle to SF to now NYC), so I am used to the idiosyncrasies that comes with city living. Not that I feel it is my duty to defend this apartment, but I read the last review and wholeheartedly disagree with a few things: 1. The radiator was perfectly fine for us. In all cities, older buildings are controlled for the masses, not per unit. This is part of the older charm. Still, not a single sound, nor was the apt too cold or hot for us during our stay. 2. We LOVED this location! Found plenty of wonderful coffee shops, restaurants, and things to do. We do have a dog and appreciated the park and family feeling of the neighborhood. Safe. Fun. Beautiful. We do live on the UWS in NY, and this area reminds me of home. :) 3. Getting to the major part of the city was easy for us. We are walkers though, so happily did just that. We used the L train a few times, then Uber ($16 from the boat tour back to the apt). 4. I found Heather easy to work with and definitely a 5-star host. She’s just kind and really puts effort in. Her parking map alone won me over.
We would 100% stay again.
