This apartment is in an ideal location: a quiet neighborhood very close to the north side of Central Park. The building is well-maintained and quiet. The neighborhood offers many restaurant and grocery store choices. There is a very nice grocery store at W 110 and Broadway: Westside Market. I recommend taking a look at the amazing cathedral and it's complex in the neighborhood which should be included in a sightseeing trip to NYC and it is only a few minutes walk from the apartment. There are two subway stops nearby to explore Manhattan and beyond. Communication with the hosts and access to the apartment was very easy. The apartment is exactly as pictured and described. It has all the basic necessities/furnishings. We cooked a few simple meals while there. Good base from which to explore NYC. Although the apartment is small, the space was perfect for a family of three and we felt comfortable there for a week-long stay.
