We had a great stay at Ian's apartment. The apartment gets a lot of sun and it was very nice and clean. It looks exactly what you see in the pictures (*No photoshop or brightness adjustment). Ian had a couple of umbrellas for his tenants to use. That was very thoughtful touch. The building has no elevator and it's on the 5th floor so if you have a stroller or other big items with you, it might be hard to deal with. Ian warned us in advance about this but we still booked this place. You’ll get good exercise! No laundry on site but there is a laundromat across the street and they do fluff and fold. Location was very convenient and lots of options to eat within blocks. Trader Joe’s is located on 93rd and other local grocery stores are within a block. The closest subway lines are B and C local (5-6min walk) and if you walk to either 86th or 79th you have 1 local train. You can also walk to Central Park, libraries, and various museums(American Museum of Natural History, the Met, Guggenheim etc). Construction was going on next door while we were staying there and the loud noise started around 7/7:30am on weekdays so if you are sensitive to noise, you might want to consider it. Ask Ian about it, he’ll answer your questions kindly. Overall, I’m very happy that I found Ian’s apartment!!
