This is a garden apartment, on a residential street in NYC, and it was perfect for our family of four. We stayed for six days and loved every minute of it. Our two girls (ages 7 & 9) were so excited to have their own private space--with their own bathroom--downstairs. The trundle bed is perfect, and the toys/books provided really helped improve our stay (especially on the cold and rainy days). Upstairs, the king bed was super comfortable. There is also a huge full bathroom with a separate bathtub and enclosed shower.
The kitchen is well appointed, with really great cookware (Staub! Le Creuset!) and decent knives and tableware. Though there are plenty of take-out/delivery dining options available, we cooked in two nights, and it was so easy with what was provided. It was also so helpful to have a dishwasher and the laundry machine/dryer. Jed provided pellets for both.
The living room is comfortable--with two armchairs and a firm sofa with ottoman. We read there in the mornings and hung out there and watched family movies in the evenings on the Roku/Netflix/Amazon set up on the TV.
The neighborhood is lovely and, in my opinion, perfect for a NYC experience. You're a few blocks from two great parks: Central Park and Riverside. Fairway and Citarella are fantastic supermarkets, as well--and only two blocks away. Zabar's, a NYC institution, is just three blocks away. The subway is just four blocks away. Everything is within walking distance. We even walked across the park to the MET museum one day.
A few days before arrival, Jed sent detailed instructions for everything we needed to know about his place. Check-in/check-out was super easy (lockbox). We requested a late check-out at the last minute, and he allowed it--which we really appreciated.
You can't go wrong booking this place.
