The apartment was absolutely beautiful including interesting art on the walls and had everything we needed for a 4-night stay including a comfy bed with soft sheets, dining area with a glass table with four chairs; full kitchen with stove, oven, microwave, full-sized fridge/freezer, dishwasher, plates/glasses/mugs/silverware/pots and pans and thoughtful touches like a selection of coffee pods to use in the Keurig. The location simply could not have been better - we were a block from Central Park on a beautiful street filled with pre-war brownstones. We walked all over the UWS and there were tons of fabulous restaurants to choose from. We were also a 3-minute walk from the subway. There was an air conditioner in the bedroom so even when the weather got hot we slept comfortably. Mark was a super responsive host, always replying within minutes when we messaged him. Laundry was in a building down the street (it cost us about $8 to wash and dry one load - bring quarters if you want to do laundry) but I believe the plan is to put a washer and dryer in the building where we stayed. There is work going on in the building but we only heard noise from construction one morning of our several-day stay. The one challenge was parking, which was super hard to find, and we had to move the car for street sweeping, but that's no reflection on this airbnb - it's just challenging overall to have a car in NYC! There is no need for one at this property since you can easily walk where you want to go or take the subway. We highly recommend this wonderful apartment!!!
