The apartment was quite lovely and comfortable. We were visiting a new grandchild so we didn't do much in the area. But I know it is a great location with easy access to many parts of the city. It is also close to the park and if you like to walk getting to the museums (Met., Guggenheim, etc.) is good exercise with a pretty fantastic destination. You could also walk to the park and then rent a bike. Whole Foods is really close too on Lenox and 125th, and a really well stocked local grocery, Paragon is at Lenox and 130th.
