Our stay was absolutely wonderful in this spacious, comfortable and luxurious apartment in a full service building on the UES. Excellent communication with the owners; easy and flexible check-in & out. Enjoy high end finishes throughout the apt, the memory foam bed is great, the balcony view is priceless! Subway (new Q line) on the corner, very quiet neighborhood, delicious local coffee, bagels, deli, pizza, restaurants all just steps away. Recommended places close by: Fairway (1/2 block) and Whole Foods (2 blocks), Ryan's & Daughters Irish Pub, Felize (Italian), Roma and Roman Empire for (late night) pizza, Gracie's on 2nd 24 hr deli, Tai Bagels, Heidelberg (great German food), Maz Mezcal, 86th St Wine and Liquors (great wine selection). Also try Le Botaniste and Loco Coco on Lexington Ave. In Little Italy - Da Gennaro Ristorante and do not miss Ferrara for sweets! We walked to Central Park and Museum Mile, up and down Park and Lexington Avenues. Took the subway to Yankee stadium and Canal Street. It was a memorable visit to NYC in large part because of Claudia's amazing home! Thank you!
