This place was a great place to stay. It’s perfect for two people and I don’t think you would want to add a third even if you were allowed. It’s about as large as you would picture a NYC apartment. It’s longer than it is wide, but it’s still spacious enough.
Edgar met us to let us in and gave us the lowdown of the neighborhood. He suggested grocery stores, coffee shop, restaurants, and even where to buy wine. He was extremely friendly and helpful.
The location of the apartment is right near the 6 train which is extremely great. Its also about 0.4 miles away from the NQ train. It’s easy to hop on and go on your adventure for the day. It’s also fairly close to Central Park, so walking to it isn’t bad. There’s a CVS nearby which sometimes has better deals on food and drinks that the grocery stores so be sure to check it out if you plan on cooking in the apartment.
I know many people worry about location when it comes to NYC because of safety reason. I felt extremely safe in this location. It is south of Spanish Harlem. We only once ventured into Spanish Harlem because we swung by 7-eleven during the day. Aside from that, we stayed on 97th and below 97th. The walk between 6 line and the apartment and the walk between NQ line and the apartment were both safe routes. We took those routes both during the day and at night, and we didn’t have a moment when we felt we unsafe.
