I stayed in Lori's apartment for a month when I moved to the city for a new job. The location, close to the 86th St. express 4/5 station, was absolutely perfect. There's a huge Whole Foods half a block away, and all amenities (bodega, laundry, wine store) are close.

The apartment itself is beautiful and has everything you would need for your stay. The sectional sofa is great for lounging and the bright bedroom in the back has a super comfy memory foam mattress. While there are no closets, there is plenty of storage in drawers. The kitchen is a bit small if you'll be doing a lot of cooking, but with all the restaurants within walking distance you certainly don't need to cook.

The only issue I had was several missing packages. This is a problem with most walk ups without a doorman, and it certainly had nothing to do with either Lori or the apartment itself. If you have to get something shipped to you while staying here, I recommend just doing a local post office pick up instead.

Overall, I had an excellent stay and I would definitely rent Lori's apartment again. She was responsive to all of my needs and requests and did everything she could to ensure my stay was flawless.
