This is a remarkably spacious apartment, the entire top floor of a historic brownstone, with high ceilings, beautiful leaded glass windows, and much of the original wood paneling and detailing. It's very charming if you like that sort of style, as we do, but also has some inconveniences related to its age (see below). The location is wonderful, near Central and Riverside Parks, and a block from the Museum of Natural History. The neighborhood is vibrant, with dozens of restaurants within a couple of blocks. It's a 4th floor apartment, with no elevator. Getting our suitcases up the stairs when we arrived was exhausting, but we didn't mind the stairs once we had moved in. We were there during the summer (July). The air conditioning was fine in the bedrooms, but the one in the living room - a very large room - had to run full time to keep up with the heat. We were told when we arrived to turn off the air conditioners before turning on the washing machine or using other electrical appliances (microwave, iron, etc). We goofed once, and had to call for help to get the circuit breaker turned back on, which was done within an hour. We'd definitely stay there again, but it might not appeal to everyone.
