This was a perfect place for us - two friends on a weekend outing. The location is great. Check in was easy. Communication with Elizabeth's sister Jennifer was always prompt and friendly. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. The couch worked well as a second bed and we had all we needed - equipped kitchen, shower, tub, netflix and lots of natural light. I loved the framed photos of Africa on the wall in the hallway.
The location is great - 1 block from the #1 train which will get you to the middle of everything. We drove into NY and parked for the weekend in a garage on 110th St. just 2 min. walk away. It was pricey, but less than the train would have been for the two of us and it was nice to be able to leave the car and know it was safe there. When we checked out at noon, we even went and stuck our bags in the car so we had the flexibility to stay in town for another few hours.
In the area we enjoyed eating at ThaiMarket - 1 block away, visiting Book Culture and Bank St. Books ( the best kids bookstore I've ever been in) -both on 112th, and the cathedral where we went to their lovely sung evensong service on Sunday afternoon. Wonderful choir and what an organ!!
Things to know - there are two flights of stairs to climb, not a big deal, but could be for some people.
We loved it. I highly recommend it and would stay there again.
