We stayed 10 days in Sarah’s apartment in August. It is a clean, spacious, cosy and tastefully decorated apartment located in a quiet street in Washington Heights right across the 190th Street Subway Station and a very beautiful park. The bed is very comfortable, however it is quite small for 2 persons.
Sarah was very kind and helpful, she responded to my questions very quickly and she was willing to find a convenient way to deliver the keys of her apartment as we arrived very late at night in Washington Heights.
The apartment and the neighborhood are really nice, however you should be aware that the apartment is not close to midtown Manhattan. Normally it took us about 30-40 minutes by train to get to midtown Manhattan. During our stay though, this was not always the case as sometimes it took us almost an hour to get to midtown Manhattan, which proved to be a little inconvenient. The problem was that during the weekends, the A line of the subway did not operate normally and we had to take a shuttle bus from Broadway Street up to the 168th Street, if I remember correctly, and then take the subway. The same problem arised late at nights when the trains did not run very frequently.
All in all, we had a nice experience and we can recommend this place, especially to all those who appreciate staying in a tranquil and cosy environment, as long as the relatively long distance from midtown Manhattan is not a problem.
