This apartment made for a perfect "pied-a-terre" for a visit to Manhattan. We found it very clean, comfortable and convenient. The bedroom is roomy, and the bed was comfortable. The kitchen had most of the essentials, though fairly lightly provided with glassware, plates, bowls, etc. The living room is bright, with several comfortable couches and a large screen TV. There's ample closet space, and most of the necessary amenities. Bathroom has a full tub and a decent showerhead.

The apartment is a 3rd floor walk-up, so wouldn't suit someone in poor shape with a lot of luggage. Being on the 3rd floor, there was lots of light, and with the bedroom at the rear of the flat (away from the street) it was nice and quiet for sleeping.

The street is a typical Manhattan crosstown residential block: primarily brownstones, with some restored, some in need of restoration. The block is pretty quiet. Even on-street parking wasn't difficult, which was a welcome surprise. You do have to keep track of alternate side parking rules, but that's a given in NYC. The neighborhood felt safe, though the one night we were out after midnight, we opted for a cab rather than the several block walk from the subway.

At one end of the block is Lenox Avenue, which has shopping and restaurants, including some very good ones. Two subway stops are nearby, with quick access to midtown or lower Manhattan by express trains.

Communication with Wayne was easy, and we were very pleased with our experience here. We will recommend this apt. to others, and will likely stay here again on a return visit to NY
