Alkis' apartment is incredible. It's spacious (for a NYC apartment) and is in a great location, especially if you're interested in exploring Harlem, the Upper West Side, and Central Park. It's close to numerous subway and bus lines, making it easy to get just about anywhere.
Also, a NYC apartment with a washer and dryer is incredible and makes it easy to pack light and do a load of laundry halfway through your trip!
