Perfect Place for a stay in New York City.
We (m, 24 & f, 21) are originally from Cologne, Germany and stayed in Amy's place for five weeks in August 2022 to study in (Midtown) Manhattan and live in the city.
The apartment is ideally located to commute via Subway/Bus, both stations are two streets (3 min. walk) away. The neighbourhood (East Harlem) is a typical urban, residential area. For anyone concerned about security: We were never afraid to walk outside, even late at night.
The Supermarket is also only two streets away. You can find restaurants, fast food chains, barbers and whatever else you need usually within in a five minute walk very close by. The next Whole Foods is reached on foot within 25 - 30 minutes, with the train it's 10 to 15.
The northeast of Central Park is reached within a few minutes as well, you don't need public transport to get here.
Our daily door-to-door commute to Bryant Park (42nd Street) via subway usually took between 19 and 26 minutes.
A few others (all door-to-door):
Empire State Building ~ 20 minutes
The Vessel, Hudson Yards ~ 35 minutes
Wall Street ~ 40 Minutes
DUMBO ~ 45 Minutes
The apartment is bigger in reality than it looks on the pictures - I would estimate it at around 45 square metres (~485 square foot). It is beautifully designed and furnished.
All appliances (AC, Fan, Washer, Dryer) work perfectly.
It was an incredibly hot summer, so we we're glad to have the AC since the city get's very hot.
Amy is the best host ever, answers quickly and helps out instantly if needed. (For example if somebody should forget their keys. Twice. 😉)
It was an amazing time and and we would absolutely recommend staying at Amy's place!
