The place is located in an awesome neighborhood in the Upper West Side. Mark is very friendly, responsive, and checks in each day to make sure your stay is going well. The neighbors are very friendly and helpful. And the apartment is located near great local spots to eat. Also, the stone's throw from Central Park is a major perk! We came with our two young kids (both under 4) and they loved all the nearby parks and playgrounds. Just go out and walk around and you are bound to stumble onto somewhere fun and have a great random encounter with others.
