For a wonderful, truly authentic New York experience, this is the place to stay! Our hosts were very attentive when needed and the apt was very well equipped. We were located within walking distance of a subway entrance and easily accessible taxi routes. We were able to find on-street parking every day but one and a garage was located 1/2 a block away. We were only a short distance from Columbia University as graduation was our primary purpose for this trip. We cooked part of the time, a grocery was around the corner, and all types of food were delivered to our door whenever we didn't want to cook. A wide variety of restaurants were also within walking distance or a short taxi ride if we wanted to eat out. Our daughter who has been living in NY city for 4 years was amazed at the accommodations for the price and as she is remaining in the city for 1 more year, she is looking to decorate her new apartment similarly. We had a perfect week and our stay was enhanced by such wonderful accommodations. I would highly recommend staying here!
