A perfectly appointed apartment that's a steal in a great area. Tia is the most generous host and she made my stay very comfortable. Beautiful kitchen, excellent bathroom, fluffy white towels, a big closet with hangers and hooks. Little to no street noise at night -- just normal NYC noise. Great WiFi. Subway access is astonishing -- a stone's throw away from two major subway lines so you can get anywhere in the city very easily.
A few things to know: Go to Perk Kafe and to Madame Bonte for coffee. Contento in East Harlem for Peruvian food. Check out a concert at the 92nd St Y, which is very close by. Central Park is an easy walk -- and so is the Guggenheim Museum.
This is a 5th floor walkup, so if you have low stamina or expect to be carrying a lot of things in and out, please know that there are about 65 steps to climb.
