Location is perfect! You could spend a week going to different wonderful restaurants and not travel a block. Access to two major subway lines within a couple blocks. Central Park and the American Museum of Natural history less than a block away! It's also about a 20 minute walk to the Met. The hosts were amazing! We received the most heartfelt welcome to NYC. We have young children including one who is an afternoon napper so we spent a lot of time in the apartment. The spaciousness really paid off. There were several games which entertained our kids. There is not a great TV but if you are even considering renting an airbnb in New York with your kids you are probably not big TV people anyway. And you are probably bringing your iPad anyway. (Wifi worked great). The apartment is really a work of art and a mini New York history museum all in one. If you are looking for an honest and real upper west side experience this place is great. Travelers should be fit enough to walk up several flights of stairs and be comfortable with a home that is over 100 years old albeit updated with every modern convenience and completely functional.
