Kevin's apartment on the Upper West Side is a fantastic place to stay and enjoy NYC. The unit itself lives up to its photos.
It's a real 1 BR, which leave ample space to relax in the LR and eat-in kitchen. The bathroom is superb: full bath and (rain) shower. The kitchen is a dream. So many elegant touches throughout--including the best firm mattress I've slept on in a long while. The apartment gets fantastic morning light, as huge, tall windows face out to the street. The place is sparkling clean. Remarkably, though, the building's on a quiet stretch; so it's a peace-filled place to get a good night's rest.
The unit's in easy walking distance of all the great things the UWS has to offer. Coffee shops abound; fantastic restaurants a swift walk to Amsterdam; and the subway (#1) is just 2 blocks away. Fab fab fab locale. I can't sing its praises enough.
Kevin was/is an amazing host; he lives up to the standards of a "superhost" and even goes beyond. He went out of his way to make me feel welcome and comfortable. He responds promptly if you have any questions or needs. He's superb to deal with.
In all, Kevin's place is a gem. I'm looking forward to booking my next stay.
