The brownstone is in a great location to museums, Central Park, public transportation, and different options for dining be it Mexican, Mediterranean, etc. or formal to casual. The building is on a quiet block for NYC and inside architecturally gives the flavor of how homes used to be built with high, vaulted ceilings, large windows, stylized woodwork and long hallways north to south optimizing the space the brownstone occupies. The comfortable bedding and soft towels were a plus. The host met us and took us around when we arrived. She also graciously left us a pastry breakfast our first morning there along with coffee, tea and hot and cold water from a dispenser. A real taste of NYC upper west side living!
