Gina's place is in an excellent location just two blocks from Central Park and two blocks from quiet Morningside Park. The apt is on a quiet and friendly street and there is a market nearby and quite a few restaurants. The metro and bus stations are under 5 min. walking distance. Columbia is a 20 min. walk. The apartment is very comfortable with a lot of light and lovely furnishings and has everything you need. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great! Gina is friendly, kind and responds quickly. I felt very safe and secure here. I stayed for two weeks and would love to return! Some people mention that being close to the front door was an issue. I was happily surprised that there were no other noises, especially at night, because I know that noises are to be expected when you are in NYC.
