We would give Brinton’s place 4 stars, not 5. The apartment is in an old building but the apartment has been nicely updated. There are however, some details that Brinton should attend to maintain the upscale look and experience he’s going for. We did appreciate the cleanliness of the apartment so the $100 cleaning fee is worth it.
The close proximity to 125th St subway station was great. Whole Foods is a pricy market but it was very convenient and there are plenty of places to eat just steps away from the apartment. The windows faced the back of the building so we looked down onto a nice patio and trees, rather than the street. It’s also quiet at night so we slept very well.
