This was my second stay at Amy’s place however on the first visit I stayed in a different apartment on another floor. This time I stayed in the studio on the 4th floor. We loved the apartment. It’s very stylish and very big. It had everything you could ask for on a vacation. Added bonus, she had cable which was nice. A lot of Airbnb rentals don’t. Personally, I like relaxing in bed, catching up on shows at the end of the day. We know that there were other people in the building but we never saw or heard them. The location is great, just a few blocks from the 6 train.
We had breakfast every morning at Caribeno on 105th and Lexington. I highly recommend the mangu (I suggest getting it with eggs, fried cheese and bacon). There is a supermarket close by on 110th.
Amy was responsive and helpful. She keeps a book handy with a lot of local tips. I am originally from NY but since I have been gone so long I needed a refresher on things to do and new restaurants. The building is alarmed and Amy and the other residents are really good about turning it on and off.
The bed was comfy and there is an AC.
Fair warning to anyone with issues with stairs, the building is a walk up.
I highly recommend staying with Amy.
