I can't recommend this apartment and this host more highly. The location is right in the middle of everything. Anything you might need - market, fruit and veg vender, wine stores, restaurants, bus stop, subway station - is literally steps away. Close to Carl Schurz Park, with great dog runs and just two blocks from the East River Esplanade, which is a great morning/evening walk.
The apartment is super-bright with great wifi, which was vital since I was WFH while I was there. Check-in was smooth and efficient and responsiveness to any question was nearly immediate.
I'm planning another stay in the spring if I don't stay in the apartment, I will only consider Local Stay properties. This was my first long-term stay and I was so glad to have picked this place - and so sad to leave.
