I spent a week at Gina's place while I was in town apartment hunting, and it was a great spot for me. I wanted to test out the neighborhood and be able to get around the west side of the city easily. I didn't go out to eat in the neighborhood much, but it looked like there were plenty of good bars and restaurants on either end of the block- Adam Clayton or Frederick Douglas. I went to Central Market and mostly cooked at home. Starbucks, Central Market, and Cafe Amrita were very close by, as well as two different subway stations. Gina was very welcoming and helpful, but didn't hover which was great. I was a little worried while I was reading other reviews right before my arrival as someone mentioned seeing roaches. Thankfully I didn't see a single one in the entire week that I was there, and found the apartment very neat, comfortable and clean. It was great to have good air conditioning, fast internet, and cable. Nice to be right by Central Park. If you like walking the Museum of Natural History is a beautiful walk along Central Park West. You can get over to Columbia and all the great restaurants over there easily by foot as well. I was very happy there, and would happily return. Thanks Gina!
