We stayed here for a month in September and LOVED IT!
We have a dog and the Inwood park is simply perfect. Went on runs here almost daily and walks mid-day. Such a huge plus for the area/location.
Some other things we loved:
- The place was huge for NYC standards. We worked remotely, so having a bedroom with doors that closed was ideal.
- There are about 3+ people helping to manage this place. They were always available via text and delivered anything we needed - extra toilet paper, even an air mattress last minute!
- We drove, and if we played our cards right we found free street parking nearby. The key was moving it on a weekday during work hours. We didn’t move our car much once we found a good spot.
- Location to the metro. For those of you wanting to stay “downtown” Inwood is definitely a bit far. BUT, with that said- the metro is a 4 minute walk away and it only takes about 25 minutes on the A line to get pretty much anywhere.
Also, I want to note this since I saw some reviews about it being an unsafe neighborhood. I did travel with my bf so I wasn’t walking alone late at night… but with that said- this neighborhood is FULL of families. I felt very safe going on runs alone in the park and walking around. The neighborhood is lively and I loved that.
The only negative thing to add is the deck is not new like the photos. With all the rain, the wood is beginning to mold a bit. We didn’t hang out there at all (but the park made up for this).
Thanks for a great stay!
