The location for this apartment is amazing. Close to Columbus circle, tons of restaurants, shopping and central park. Very easy to get around with the 1-2-3 and A-C-E lines close by. Upper West side is a great place to stay and Ashley's apartment is conveniently located to all the highlights. The apartment was clean and relatively roomy with the layout. My partner and I were comfortable staying here for our visit. We stayed during an intensive heatwave and the apartment was equipped with two AC units to keep us comfortable in both the living and bedroom.
Ashley's apartment is on the 6th floor and on a side street so the noise is a bit reduced versus being on a busier street. There is no elevator in the building so keep that in mind if you are bringing lots or heavy luggage. The apartment also lacks a microwave too, so you'll have to reheat any takeout / leftover food on the stove or in the oven. The living room is somewhat oddly furnished with what feels like two pieces of couch sectionals used as the seating arrangement instead of a full couch, but I assume that was done since the hallways are narrow and moving furniture can be difficult.
Overall, this apartment's location can't be beat! It's accessible and comfortable and made it for easy exploring of the city.
