The location is truly ideal; safe and quiet neighborhood, walking distance to subway station, markets, restaurants, cafes, and even Central Park (if you walk about 20 minutes). Carl Schurz park, a beautiful little park filled with families and dog-walkers with a river-side path, is literally at the end of the block. The apartment itself is quite beautiful and feels newly renovated, with a pretty view of the vine-covered apartments across the street. However, it is a walk-up with thin, steep stairs—so if you are elderly or disabled, you would have some trouble.
