We had a great stay at Charlene's place! The unit is WAY bigger than the last place we booked, and extremely clean and pleasant to spend time in. It's only 2 blocks from the nearest subway, and a short walk to the north end of central park. There are lots of great restaurants nearby and Charlene is very helpful with any questions, plus she has great tips on places to go and to eat. She often sat with us at the table and chatted after we got back at night, and was always friendly and fun to talk to. The only drawback for us was that it was a little noisy at night, someone in the apartment above us often paced around until midnight or 1am and sometimes made it hard to sleep. I doubt you're going to find a quiet place in NYC at any time of day or night though, so we still rate this place a head and shoulders above our last stay in NY. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone planning to stay in the city!
