Karen's place is perfectly located and well-priced if you're looking for a family-friendly place accessible to central park, the Met, Natural History museum, etc. Perk coffee around the corner was awesome! Upon arrival, the housekeeper met us and let us into the apartment. We were given his phone number in case any issues came up. Check in and check out were easy. Her apartment is in a nice/updated building down the street from the Islamic Cultural Center--clean, well-kept entry way, and the elevator is a serious plus! The subway is just around the corner. Off street parking is relatively easy to find with a couple passes around side streets, however there are also a number of garages within a short walk as well. The apartment is just like the pictures, and we found it to be a good fit for our family. We've stayed with our family (children under 8) at other airbnb's in the city, and Karen's place was the best by far, with an excellent price as well!
