Our experience at Marjorie's apartment was wonderful. Marjorie was welcoming and gracious, and was very responsive when we needed to contact her with questions during our stay. She had a folder filled with important information about the apartment and neighborhood. The apartment itself is charming, comfortable, and clean. It faces a small courtyard in the back of the building, so it is very quiet. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, and the bathroom is spacious for a NYC apartment. The queen sized bed is memory foam, which we've never slept in before, and we found it very comfortable. Marjorie cleared out a clothes cupboard and a closet for our use, so there was plenty of room for our clothes, etc. We loved the beautiful woodwork in the apartment - it is easy to imagine what the home looked like before it was converted into apartments.
The location is absolutely perfect - just steps away from Central Park and a subway station. It is just a short subway train ride to Times Square, Broadway theaters, etc. The neighborhood is very safe, and there are many restaurants, shops, and museums within walking distance. We love the Upper West Side, and always try to find a place to stay in the neighborhood. We will most certainly stay at Marjorie's apartment again.
