Katiane's place is FABULOUS! If you are looking for a local spot in NYC, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!
The Location: Located in the northern part of the Upper West Side, close to Broadway. Her place is located about a block and a half from the 103/Broadway station which is accessible by the 1 train and provides easy access to everything in Mid-town, Times Square, and Penn Station. We were able to easily travel by Subway to The Bronx, Brooklyn, LES, East Village, and Midtown with no issues.
The Neighborhood: Incredibly close to everything you want/need! Great breakfast spots, bakeries, markets, and local groceries. Walking distance to Central Park and Harlem, shopping (TJ Maxx, Whole Foods, etc), and the Hudson River. We felt completely safe and comfortable walking around at all times of the day/evening/night.
The Space: Exactly as pictured! Perfect for two people, Katiane's apartment has everything you need. Fully stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, couch, A/C, TV with streaming services, and amazing bath towels. The apartment is a fifth floor walk-up but that was no problem for us. We live in a downtown section of an East Coast city and we had no issue with the small amount of noise as the street is relatively quiet. You will hear the occasional honking or sirens at night, but that is to be expected when staying in the city.
I seriously cannot say enough about Katiane's apartment. We had an incredible stay and will definitely be back! Thank you Katiane!
