Striver's Row is an excellent alternative to Midtown Manhattan. Joy's apartment is roomy, clean and bright. She was responsive to our questions prior to our stay and waiting for us when we arrived in NYC. The apartment is a few minutes walk to the subway and a 10 minute walk to the express train which puts you in Midtown in 15 minutes. There are great restaurants in the area (try the Grange or Londels), and a Deli on the corner. Crisp linens on all the beds and snacks upon our arrival.
Thank you Joy! We hope to stay again!
