Tara's place is in a great location - walking distance from several metro stations, Central Park, restaurants and shops, and lots of Citibikes stands. There is a coffee/bakery shop with great coffee literally steps away. Uber rides into the theatre district, Guggenheim, MMA and other attractions were between $12- $20 if you don't feel like catching the metro. We chose to ride bikes down to most of the attractions, right through Central Park, it was awesome but a bit hilly, the streets are flatter but then you have to deal with traffic. I found a great wine shop called The Winery, which had a very good selection and the proprietor was very helpful. The neighborhood felt very safe.
Inside the unit, it is spacious and very clean. The beds were comfortable and there is a large sofa bed so can easily accommodate up to 6 people. The kitchen had all the things you would need if you chose to eat in.
Tara is delightful, I really enjoyed chatting with her. She was always available via text and responded almost immediately. Would definitely stay again.
