First and foremost, the location of the apartment is excellent — A very short walk to Central Park and the American Museum of Natural History. Lincoln Center is 15 minutes and Columbus Circle is 20 minutes on foot. It’s only a couple of blocks to the 1,2,3,A,B,&C trains, which will get you just about anywhere in the city. Trader Joe’s is within walking distance, which helped us beat the currently inflated cost of groceries. There were also several dog runs nearby for our pup.
On Sundays, several blocks of Columbus Ave are limited to foot traffic only, while a Grand Bazaar takes place right across the street from the apartment. The bazaar features local UWS vendors… lots of cool stuff and friendly people.
The apartment itself is spacious, especially for NYC. The kitchen was fully stocked for cooking our own meals and the bedroom was cozy and relatively quiet. Last, but not least, Stephen, Adam, and Jonathan were all great hosts. They were very responsive and quickly resolved minor issues that emerged during our stay.
