The location is excellent, half a block from the beautiful Central Park. The station for B and C trains is two blocks away. The neighbourhood is nice with many restaurants. We loved the old building and its style. However, its age meant also that noise isolation was not perfect and sounds from people living on the upper levels of the building could be heard easily. There is ample space, added by the room in the basement (not much natural light there though). On arrival we were provided with excellent information about the neighbourhood. Small adjustments to the apartment where done during our stay, which added to the comfortabillity. In all, our family enjoyed the month long stay very much.
