What a gem! Steed’s place is absolutely beautiful with a panoramic riverside view. On arrival he spent time with us to give us the lay of the land about restaurants, places to shop for groceries, the history of this historic building, and about interior design. (We had lots of questions, and he was very gracious with his time). If you are a writer or history bluff interested in the Harlem Renaissance, Ralph Ellison, author of The Invisible Man we were told lived here for many years. There is also a very unique outdoor sculpture in his honor in the front of the building. We were 2 couples on a week-long stay in NYC and had plenty of room to find a niche to read, nap, sit or gaze out over the river. The subway station is less than 10 minute walk away. Note that there is only one bathroom for couples to share, however it worked out fine for us, however the smaller bedroom could be a little tight for some couples. During our stay the interior front door knob was loose and made if difficult to open door from the inside. I informed Steed and he let me know where I could find a screwdriver, and I was able to provide a temporary fix by tightening. Despite these minor inconveniences, we all agreed we would definitely stay here again! We had a wonderful stay in a beautifully decorated apartment with a stunning river view. I really enjoyed the bedside sunrises.
