I reserved Carly's place for my parents' visit to NY. I can confirm what the reviews below all say: her apartment is fantastic! Five stars, easily. Located on the third floor of a well-kept walk-up building, Carly's place is tidy, quiet, tastefully decorated, and enjoys plenty of morning light though the two living room windows. With it's convenient distance to an express subway stop (about a 2-minute walk), it's close proximity to businesses that will make your stay easier (a laundromat, several grocery markets, and plenty of restaurants) and its excellent location sandwiched between Central Park and Riverside Park, it's the quintessential Upper West Side apartment for a single person, a couple, or a small family. As host, Carly was attentive and refreshingly thoughtful in a way that helped my folks truly enjoy their stay. Let's just say that if Airbnb has awards for outstanding hosts, Carly can count on my vote!
