The location of this apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan was perfect for me. It was steps away from Central Park and an easy walk to Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and a number of major museums. The subway and city buses can be accessed two blocks away for exploring parts of NYC that were too far to walk. The hosts were wonderful, helpful, and quiet. The neighborhood was surprisingly quiet for Manhattan and there were grocery stores and good restaurants in the area. The apartment was a good value, but there are several things to consider: it is older and not a luxury hotel, you need to be able to walk up a couple of flights of stairs, and you will share a bathroom (which was never a problem in the week I stayed there). The amenities listed in the description were all there, including a small refrigerator, a microwave, and coffee maker. I had a wonderful trip to NYC and would stay here again.
