This is a great location on the Upper West Side. We loved being two blocks from both the subway and Central Park!! There are also several good restaurants within a block. We got metro cards and used the subway each day so this location is perfect! We felt completely safe the entire time. We also loved having a full refrigerator and kitchen so we could make coffee and have breakfast without eating out all the time. The bed is really comfortable which is important after a long day of walking and sightseeing. We loved being part of a neighborhood during our week in New York. So much better than a hotel.
