The apartment was great in terms of a very quick commute from LGA to place was about 20 min drive with traffic. It was a quite location with all the convenience in terms of shops, restaurants, with in a block or two away. There was a bagel shop we visited twice caddycorner from the apartment, a bed bath and beyond (for umbrellas when it rained), a Starbucks 100 yards away, a great pub/bar one block over, a grocery store and it was like 7 blocks to Central park and 5th Avenue. The layout of the apartment worked well for our needs there were two private bedrooms, and a good sized living area, kitchen/dining combo. The unit is on the 3rd floor so the stairs with luggage were a bit intense but we only had to do that once up and once down so wasn't the end of the world. Overall, I would definitely try to stay at the property again when visiting NYC!
