Located near the 96th Q-Train stop, the location was really convenient to get around New York via subway. We were able to get to Times Square in about 15-20 minutes and straight to Coney Island in an hour without switching trains, just by way of example. It's also only a half mile to Central Park and 3-4 blocks to a grocery store. That being said, the location is more Spanish Harlem than Upper East Side which we didn't mind at all. The apartment was really spacious, modern and well laid out for groups (I had 2 adults and 4 kids) with a full kitchen which was handy. Janelle was very responsive to questions or issues when they came up and was an excellent host.
