At first when we booked the apartment there was no review because it was a new listing. We pretty much took a chance because we like the location and the description. It turned out to be a very pleasant stay. The apartment is clean and spacious. The kitchen is well equipped with all the appliances and utensils. The location is superb. The nearest subway is a little more than a block away . It's a short walk to the North side of Central Park. There are tons of restaurants on Broadway and Amsterdam Street. We especially enjoy having breakfast at the outside of Silver Moon Bakery. The neighborhood is very safe. Silva is very responsive to our questions. The lack of a TV didn't affect us. We watched the Olympics on our laptop. The amount of furniture is just right so we don't feel cluttered. All in all it's a very pleasant experience.
