Owner is very kind and flexible on the checkin as I had a late nite arrival. House rules are simple and clear. Her place is as described: cozy, clean, well maintained and in an older, elevated building. Everything worked well. Very convenient to uptown, downtown and crosstown bus and subway. Madison Sq Park is 3 minutes. Lot of restaurants and bars very close and for different budgets. Whole Foods across the street. WF crew can be a bit noisy early in morning but I adjusted in a day or 2. Lovely apartment and I enjoyed my stay and would do it again on next occasion.
