I had a wonderful stay at Alex's appartment. The location is perfect just one block from Central Park in a quiet tree lined street. There are plenty of shops and cafes within a block so you can pick up anything you need very easily.

The subway is also one block away and gets you straight into the heart of the city, shops, cafes, tourist sites.I would recommend walking though via Central Park.

If you are a museum fan then all the museums are in this area. So you are within walking distance from the Natural Museum for instance.

The appt itself is very quiet, no noisy neighbours. I slept well every day of my 14 day stay. The room is a Zen heaven and is decoured as a place of quiet reflection. After a day in the active streets of Manhattan it was nice to return to the quiet of the room too. Wifi is available and very good speed. There is a kitchenette for doing some of your own cooking. Shower is brilliant I have to say.

Alex was a truly helpful host and provided details of all the local amenities from cafes to tourist sites. She kept in touch to make sure all was going well through out my stay.

I will be visiting New York again soon and will definately be looking to stay at the Zen studio
