Our host was very generous in letting my son check in early as he arrived by himself early in New York. She also let us check out late and so we did not need to waste time at the airport.

The location of the apartment is excellent - right next to Central Park and the Museum of Natural History. Most importantly, the neighborhood is very safe. Subway stations are located very close by.

The apartment is very spacious and clear. The beds are comfortable.

The negative is that the apartment is on the 4th floor and you have to climb up a set of stairs. This is not necessarily a problem but it can gets hot in summer. We were also in New York during one of the worst heat waves and the air conditioning was not sufficient to cool of the the apartment, especially the living room. But this will probably make the apartment perfect for colder weather.
