I lived several years in NYC and I love UPper West Side, I would strongly suggest this apartment for short or long term work and vacation time.
The location of the apartment is perfect, Central Park or Natural History Museum are just some minutes walking distance and the area is packed with nice restaurants. Subway station is nearby and it connects fast with all other areas of the city.
Rian is the perfect host, nice, empathetic, world-traveled and always easy to connect with.
I’ll be back soon!! :)
