We would recommend this apartment to anyone who wants a real New York experience under optimal conditions. The location is tremendous, right near Central Park, with the C train stop only half a block away. The backyard is a real plus in good weather and adds extra space with just the doors open. All of the kitchen and bathroom appliances were excellent quality. Liz and Jay were very responsive with information, tips regarding the neighborhood, and everything else that came up. We would gladly stay here again.
