This apartment is as advertised and close to Central Park, which is great. It takes just a few minutes and you're there. The neighborhood has a very good market just steps away, a number of places to eat nearby (try Alison! It's good!), and it's convenient to the subway. We really liked the neighborhood, and if you're looking for a place that reasonably priced, in a vibrant location, and near the Park, you'll like this apartment.
The apartment isn't fancy but has all that you need. There are two rooms, which is super nice and you don't feel like you're tripping over each other, although the kitchen that runs down the middle of the apartment is pretty tight. Our son had his own room and bed rather than a pull-out couch in the middle of the living space and that was important to us.
Lucyano and Lara are attentive hosts and answered texts and questions quickly. We got in pretty late our first night and they were available and responsive that night and throughout our stay. We couldn't have asked for more.
All in all, the apartment worked out really well for our needs.
