This studio apartment is in a great location in Washington Heights. It's in a lively Dominican area. The neighborhood seemed safe and the people were friendly. It's within walking distance to everything you need. Several grocery stores, laundromat right across the street, a Planet Fitness gym (which is very affordable if you're staying for a couple months and need a place to work out), and like the rest of NYC, it has great restaurants and cafes. Across the street is the Jumel Mansion, which sometimes has live music in the evenings (check the schedule on the website). Some of the nearby subway stations were under construction, but it's very close to the A, C and 1 lines which take you downtown. I was working in Midtown for the summer, so it was very convenient. And the neighborhood has the real Mr. Softee trucks! It's also within walking distance of Yankee Stadium if you're into baseball. You can also go for a run along the Harlem River or walk a little further to Riverside Park and go for a run along the Hudson, which I did quite a bit.
As for the apartment itself, it's a charming little studio that apparently used to the be home office of Clement Silston, who ran the Silston Library in Antigua from here (I'm not actually sure if the room I stayed in was the office, but it has the look of a place that could have been used as an office). Has a functional kitchen with a gas stove. The fridge sometimes made scary sounds, but it worked fine. The bathroom had everything you can expect from a bathroom. The shower was nice after long days in the New York summer humidity. And it had in-unit AC. I couldn't get the ceiling fan to turn off separately from the light, but it wasn't an issue in the summer. The bed was functional and comfortable. There's a sleep loft if you have a guest stay over, but they're probably better off sleeping on the couch, which was very comfortable. There's a television with cable. I was provided a Hulu password even though I didn't need one. WiFi was dodgy. Sometimes I had no connection even though there was full signal. Switching to the 5G version of the network would usually solve that though. I can't speak for the heater since I never used it, as it was summer.
Michael was a very responsive host and went out of his way to get me things I needed. All in all, it was a great stay and if I ever need to book an extended stay in NYC again, I'll look here first.
