Anita was great at communication throughout the stay (we had to ask about blankets and raising the thermostat after the first night) and very flexible on arrival and departure time. She is also a warm and welcoming host, meeting us at the apartment and going over WiFi and other details.

The apartment itself is wonderfully located 2 blocks from Central Park, the museum mile and the great shops and restaurants of the Upper West Side along Columbus Ave. We had no issues with neighbors or the building management.

Our one regret was the discomfort of the full sized bed, which creaked loudly and sunk in the middle despite the modest size of the occupants (we are both runners and were eager for a good night's sleep). Visitors should also know that the shower is not a stand-alone entity, but contiguous with the sink and toilet area. We had the impression from the photo of a spa-like shower space.

Otherwise, we enjoyed our temporary nest on the Upper West Side.
