The apartment was excellent, very warm and quiet and very conviniently situated for moving around with public transportation. I personally enjoyed also a long run to Central Park. A tip for future travellers is, apart from the very fast and convinient metro, to use the buses to move around the city. This way you get good views of NY while on the move! Also worth it, a stroll to Columbia University and on Sundays a visit to Marjorie Parlor (if you are into jazz you should definately look for that). We had an amazing time in NY and Thiago's flat played a significant role for that.
