Had a great visit to NYC, and Lara's apartment made for a great homebase while visiting. Located on the UWS very close to subways, tons of bars and restaurants, the Museum of Natural History, and Central Park, it made it easy to get anywhere that we wanted to. Apartment was not the cleanest when we arrived, but Lara was a friendly host and very apologetic. Seemed like it might be due to a mixup with the cleaning coordination.
