The apartment location is perfect for visitors to the city, being half way between downtown and uptown and on several bus lines and the 6 subway line! Also, Lyft was never more than 3-5 minutes away and that delay was due to traffic. For walkers, the location is great. We easily walked home from the theaters on 42nd to 47th Streets several times.
Having the dishwasher, washer and dryer, as well as space to line dry clothes all in the unit were such great perks and not often available for the price! For our two week plus stay, this was a terrific amenity. And there is a good One Day Service Cleaners just around the corner. Altho small, the apartment had plenty space to be very comfortable for our long stay. A friend joined us for a few days and we three were well accommodated.
The neighborhood is fun, safe and well stocked with restaurants, coffee shops, Trader Joe's, etc. etc. The coffee at Cosi, on the corner, is terrific. There are two genuine delicatessens very close by, listed as the city's best on the internet.
The heat and air conditioner work well but were seldom needed, as the unit is well insulated and very comfortable. It was fun to have the little balcony to check out the weather and watch the crowds. There is street noise, as one would expect in mid-town; however, we adapted to it and there were some mostly quiet nights. The building itself is very quiet and clean with a working elevator and an attractive entryway.
Kendrick was a gracious host and replied quickly to our questions about details via email, generally resolving issues successfully.
We enjoyed our stay and rate the apartment highly!
