What a beautiful apartment at a more than ideal location! Ellen is very nice and really helpful. Love her choice of furnitures, artworks on the wall, and even books on the shelf. The windows are not directly facing to other buildings, so I enjoyed looking down the residential nice street view. The location is more than ideal. We enjoyed walking and running in Central Park and Riverside Park everyday. Both so close by and beautiful. Subway stations close by. Great restaurants and Whole Foods close by. We totally enjoyed Smoke jazz club and Cleopatra’s Needle jazz club in walking distance. Also we walked to two great children’s bookstores, Books of Wonder Uptown store and Bank Street Bookstore (Absolute Bagle close by,too!). Barnes&Noble is also in walking distance. So many great restaurants close by. We ended up going to Barney’s Greengrass twice. Our big favorite was Celeste (Italian) . Such an awesome place and a kind host! Highly recommended.
