Greg's apartment is in a great location, 1/2 block from the Q train and the cross-town bus. We were in town for the NY marathon and I was able to see both the professional runners and my husband run by on 1st Avenue (1/2 block away) and in Central Park. There are lots of good restaurants and bars on 1st and 2nd Avenues and we loved the Gotham Café for morning coffee and Grace's Marketplace for a great selection of take-out food. Both are right around the corner. The apartment is comfortable and attractive and having the garden outside the back door is really nice in warm weather. Communication with Greg and his son were very clear and Stewart met us on the front steps to show us around the apt. We had a few minor suggestions for some additional things in the kitchen and bathroom (nothing big, just hot pads, drain rack, dishtowel, bathmat and the like), otherwise all was great and we recommend the apartment for anyone who wants a comfortable place on a quiet street.
