My partner and I just stayed here for the month of August while working remotely.
From the beginning, we appreciated how communicative Carlo and Mossimo were—no lockbox or impersonal handoff here, which made us feel secure staying in a new place. We even found our name on the mailbox the day after we arrived!
The apartment is peaceful, light-filled, and in a great location. It has obviously been cared for meticulously and is very well-kept—even more charming in person than the photos. You’ll be walking distance from Central Park, the Natural History Museum, and the Met.
We would jog the Jackie O reservoir in the mornings, then stop at Columbus cafe for a bagel sandwich and Plant Cafe for cold brew.
Since the subway is just at the end of the block, you can also get to anywhere in Manhattan or Brooklyn.
In the evening, try Tiki Chick for island drinks and $5 sandwiches. Or Nice Matin for an elegant dinner.
The apartment itself gets tons of natural light and the AC keeps it cool. Would recommend bringing a fire stick if you want to watch Netflix/TV.
The bedding is clean and comfy, and they have extra bedding so you can change out the sheets or use the futon. The bed itself is also very comfortable.
The bathroom has new subway tiles, plenty of storage for toiletries, lots of towels and strong water pressure in the shower.
We didn’t end up using the kitchen as much as expected because it’s a pretty small space, but there are tons of restaurants around. Trader Joe’s is walking distance , and a great local grocer is Mani Marketplace (also great for sandwiches at their deli).
Do come prepared for a tall walk up—each unit has maybe 15-20ft ceilings (beautiful) but it makes the 4th floor walk up a real workout. So you can skip the stairclimber at the gym. On your way up, pay attention to the woodwork and amazing detail along the staircase.
Overall it was an amazing introduction to NY and the UWS. We can’t wait to stay here next time.
