A charming 3rd floor apartment in the UWS; two girlfriends and I were up for a seven day stay for a friend's wedding in mid-November. Of most importance was a safe, secure location--this definitely was that. There was a lovely, clean deli on the corner, several great restaurants and bars, a grocery store, and other boutiques in walking distance. Maria met us around 7:15 pm for our arrival--she was sweet and welcoming and gave us a quick tour of the apartment. The front entrance is bright and welcoming with a double door secured entrance --black and white tile and a lovely Greek key iron design on the glass doors. Well lit entry hallway to the stairs and elevator. The apartment and rooms were just as pictured, clean and ready for guests. There was plenty of room for the three of us--one queen bed, one fold out full bed in the living room, and a twin with a trundle bed in the other room. The kitchenette was a great bonus for our long stay--there were snacks and toiletry samples. Ample towels for all guests. The bathroom is small, but clean--features a shower/tub combo with pedestal sink, and a mirrored medicine cabinet. Plenty of closet space for longer stays--one in the hall and one in the master bedroom. All guests slept very well in their beds, very important! Great adjustable lighting throughout. The morning after our arrival saw a snafu with building management that caused no hot water for half a day. Maria was responsive right away about contacting the building supervisor--in the end she gave a credit for the trouble with the water. The wifi never worked for us, despite Maria contacting the provider and despite us resetting the router in the apartment several times. There's a tv in the living room, it worked fine with no issue. The elevator in the building was a treat--for three adults with a week's luggage it was invaluable--and for tired feet at the end of the day in NYC! There's an AC window unit, but we didn't use it--it was mild enough that we cracked windows for ventilation as needed. The first part of our stay the noise level was very quiet and calm. The last three days of our stay there was significant morning/daytime noise because of construction on the first floor--bandsaws, hammering, people talking loudly, and strong paint smell. Fortunately, we were up and out of the apartment by 10am most days and back late--otherwise, it would have been beyond intrusive. Nighttime was quiet and provided for a comfortable night's rest. Maria allows a flexible checkout--I had provided her our flight info before we arrived so she'd know our departure time. Before leaving we tidied up, took out the trash, gathered our bed linens and towels, and left the key fobs in the dish on the hallway countertop. I'd recommend staying at Maria's place--it was safe, secure, and had space for multiple adults to have their own beds and space in the...
