We had a good stay a this freshly remodeled 2 bed apt in the Upper Eastside. The apartment is on the 5th floor at the back, so not much traffic noise. The neighborhood seemed fairly safe, we ate at a number of nearby restaurants (Treadwell Park, Felice 64, Sea Salt) and enjoyed each one. There were a couple of plumbing issues in the building while we were there, perhaps related to the recent remodeling, but nothing that interfered with our stay too much. The host was very responsive and helpful. The apartment is about 2 or 3 blocks from the nearest metro, which was very convenient.
