I had a wonderful 5 week stay in this apartment! The place is spacious for a NYC apartment as well as cozy and comfortable. The 1, B, & C subway lines were all within a 6 minute walk from the apartment, and there are TONS of shops, restaurants and bars just a half block away on both Columbus and Amsterdam. The apartment is insanely quiet, and the bed was SO comfortable that I had no trouble sleeping despite living in a place that wasn't my own. The TV in the living room is much bigger than the photos let on with premium cable channels which was a plus. Steven was an excellent host, very responsive to any questions I had. His son Alex met me when I got there and helped me carry my bags up which was MUCH appreciated. I cannot recommend this apartment enough, and next time I am in NYC for an extended period of time I hope it's available for me to rent again!
