Pros: Anthony's place is super-clean, bright, large by NYC standards, well-equipped, and comfortable. The two of us were easily able to work during the week from the apartment, and sightsee during our free time. We did tons and tons of walking, since Central Park is 15 min away on foot, and the Met Museum about 30 min. If you like walking, there is hardly any need to take cabs or even the subway. There are plenty of good coffee shops (try Pabade on E110th St!) and restaurants (Lexington St) nearby, as well as a really excellent grocery store (City Fresh) right across the street. The apartment is also easily accessible from LaGuardia via a 15-min cab/Uber ride. Anthony is a great host - very responsive, and answered all our questions right away.
Cons: We removed one star for the location, since the neighbourhood is quite rough, and noisy. The location is convenient, and great for anyone on a budget, but it is a rough area - though we never felt unsafe during the day.
