I cannot imagine a better location for a visit to New York's Upper East side! The entrance to the Met is right down the street and there are wonderful places to eat everywhere you look! The apartment was tiny but had everything we needed for a family of four to experience the city as a New Yorker! Everything was very clean and the area was very safe-I had no concerns walking around with our children. There is a lovely little grocery right around the corner to get everything you need if you want to cook any meals in the sweet little kitchen. Douglas was very responsive and there is an onsite manager who made check in easy. The only challenge was finding a parking garage in the area that would accept a medium size truck. I suggest taking a smaller car or don't take a car at all because you can walk everywhere or take the subway. Finally, make sure you don't miss the walks along the East River a few blocks away or along Central Park on the other side!
