As you've seen in other reviews, the photos don't do it justice. The views are fabulous. One block from Central Park and a short walk to UWS trains. Couldn't ask for anything better. But there's more: Alan's place is very comfortable with everything you need. Sit on the porch for the views or read in the living room. The bed is firm and great for a good night's sleep after touring the town. Highly recommended. Would definitely stay here again.
