We had a great time staying at Julia's garden apartment. The apartment is very clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. While we didn't have time to use the kitchen much, there is a full-sized gas stove, refrigerator, and oven. There are also lot's of great food options in the area.

The apartment is an easy 5-minute walk to the 135th Street Subway station (on the 2/3 line) and not too far from the M-60 bus stop which goes to LaGuardia Airport.

Julia was graciously flexible both for check-in and check-out. She welcomed us when we arrived our first evening, and was kind enough to let us store luggage for a couple hours after our check out. She is very responsive throughout your stay regarding any questions you might have.

For an authentic New York living experience away from tourist traps (but with easy access to visiting the popular sites), I would definitely recommend staying here! It's a great place in one of the iconic New York neighborhoods.
