As former sailors, we were delighted to find that Edgar's cozy apartment was totally "ship-shape", with a place for everything, and everything in its place. There were extra beddings and linens in the closet, beautifully polished flatware in the kitchen drawer, spotlessly clean china in the cupboards, and thoughtful touches like fresh apples on the counter and fresh milk in the fridge. The apartment is very conveniently located, only a block from the 96th Street subway station, and an easy walk to Central Park, the Museum Mile, and the many fun spots in New York's Upper East Side.
Edgar includes in his "Important Note" that there is construction going on next door, but we didn't mind it at all. In fact, we enjoyed waking up to the sounds and the hustle-bustle every morning. There is construction going on all over the city, and it is part of what makes it a vibrant, exciting place to visit. The work would stop about 4 PM each afternoon, and it was quiet at night, with no trouble sleeping.
We had many wonderful experiences during our mini-vacation in New York, but staying at Edgar's art-filled, comfortable, impeccably clean apartment was the absolute best of them all!
