Simon's place was a very clean, comfortable, stylish apartment. We loved all the details of the apartment. Living area is very comfortable, kitchen was equiped and useful, bathroom was very modern and the bedroom is very quiet and has a comfortable bed (There is also a backyard view from the bathroom) We had a very pleasent times (some evenings we are so tired to go out and bought sth from whole foods and rested very well at the apartment)
Also communication with the Simon was very easy. He answer our questions very quickly and informed us about all the needed.
The location of the building is very closed to 125 th Subway station (you can reach everywhere from this station) and some markets (Whole Food, Marshals etc.) and restaurans. Also you can walk to Central Park in 15-20 min. We feel safe ourselves as a couple but the neighboorhood is a little bit active place, if we had a child maybe we can feel a little bit nervous.
And our one and only strugle is to carrying our luggage to second floor. If you have small bags and luggages it wont be a problem but we are in a long trip and have two large luggages it forces us a little.
I would definitely recommend this place to everyone to stay NYC.
