My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in James' apartment. The location on the Upper East Side was great -- we were able to walk to the Met, the Guggenheim, and Central Park. The Q subway line was also conveniently close by.
We asked James for recommendations of his favorite restaurants in the neighborhood, and he had several, which was helpful.
It's a small apartment, like most in New York City, but had everything we needed, and the backyard area was a plus.. even in November, it was warm enough for us to sit outside.
The biggest plus for us was that it was on the ground floor. I noticed, when looking at other listings, they mostly don't say if they are a third-floor walk-up, for example, but when I would ask, most did require walking up several flights of stairs. That might not be an issue for everyone, but it is for us, so we were thrilled to find James' place.
