Merlene was a wonderful host. She communicated very quickly every time I messaged and was super helpful with all my queries. She also gave us a late check out for our evening flight.
The location is ideal for the subway - just a block away - and there are good supermarkets, coffee shops, conveniences right nearby. If you don’t mind the walk then straight down 3rd Ave takes you to the Upper East Side and all the many restaurants and museums there. It’s just a few blocks from Central Park and we loved starting our days with a run around the reservoir.
The area around the apartment isn’t the cleanest. The streets have a lot of trash especially after the weekend. If you can look past this and are happy to stay somewhere “gritty” I would definitely recommend this apartment. The place was ideal for our family of 4 with 3 separate bedrooms, all decent sized. This meant we each had space and we’re not cramped. The kitchen had all appliances you could want. The access to washer & drier was much appreciated.
