My wife and I and our two kids aged 3 and 5 spent two months living in this apartment and loved it. It truly came to feel like our home.
The location in the Upper West is perfect for families, close to subways and Central Park and a huge array of restaurants.
The stairs to the fourth floor were not as bad as we feared they may be. And the reward of the balcony made it all worth it. We spent heaps of time sitting up in that balcony at all times of day, the view over the rooftops is very New York.
The apartment itself is well decorated with quality furnishings. The kitchen had everything we needed.
Communication with Steve was excellent. We had two very minor inconveniences early on (a missing bath plug and a cable connection that had dropped out) and Steve sorted them both quickly and without fuss - exactly what you want from a host.
The apartment’s weakest point is its bathrooms. They are fine (and our kids loved the bath) but are not quite to the high standard of the rest of the apartment. Nothing that would put us off staying here again though.
All in all this was a terrific experience. We will remember this place, the street and the broader area very fondly.
Thank you!
