Two bedroom, two bath rental, March to July 2018 (four months) - This nicely-decorated, quiet, two-level apartment is located just off Columbus Avenue on the Upper Westside. It is in a great location and we found it comfortable. Secure key entry to the building. Would stay here again. Thank you, Steven.
The apartment is close to Central Park and the American Museum of Natural History.
Easy public transportation options within a few blocks - bus and subway (metro/tube).
This is a three floor, walk-up apartment. No elevator. There are 66 stair steps from the sidewalk up steep stairs to the apartment, and 20 vertical stair steps inside the apartment to the upper bedroom. There are short landings on each floor for a respite.
We found Steven (and his assistant Alex) friendly and responsive (had a leaky ceiling one day and Alex came right over).
We also met several of the neighbors in the building and found them friendly too.
You have access to a postal mailbox inside the building and parcel delivery is secure.
The apartment has everything you need for a long stay. We cooked and baked at the apartment most days. It has a fully-equipped kitchen with a gas range (4 hobs) and full-size oven. Full-size American-style refrigerator/freezer. Stainless steel pots and pans, all crockery and flatware. Toaster, microwave, blender, drip coffee maker. Nice equipment.
There are two televisions with HDMI ports. Unlimited high speed wifi connection. Worked great streaming.
The beds are comfortable and there is plenty of storage space for your kit and luggage.
There are two air conditioners to cool the hot summer days and steam radiators to warm the cold winter nights.
A suggestion we offer is that the bathrooms be remodeled. They are a bit dated. We made the best of the situation.
We had a lovely time in Manhattan. Sweet memories. Will return - soon.
