Great place convenient to transit and Central Park. Definitely recommend Amrita Cafe around the corner and Crepes on Columbus. My nieces and I had a fun 4 night stay exploring NYC.
I've lived in NYC before, so I knew what to expect (5th floor walk up, steep stairs), but for those uninitiated:
- This is a spacious apartment for NYC standards and has laundry in the unit (unheard of) and a full size fridge and stove (I pity the people that carried those up)
- You DO have to carry your luggage up 5 flights of stairs, so pack accordingly
- The stairs are actually in much better condition than most in these types of buildings, but for someone from outside of NY these will seem steep and slippery.
A few things to note for groups:
- The queen bed in the main bedroom is great.
- The sofa is not really viable for sleeping, unless a child
- The second bedroom has a twin with a trundle, but once the trundle is out you effectively can't open/close the door - so not really functional for any length of time. I think bunk beds would be a better choice for that space.
