The place is as described. It's in a great location, very close to the subway that takes you directly to all the must-see places in NY. It takes you about 20 minutes on foot to get to MET from there! In front of the building there is a beautiful Central Park. It's great to wake up in the morning, go out and have this beautiful view of the park. The area is safe and quiet. It's nice to have a rest after a whole day of wandering down NY.
I would say that the only disadvantage is that the place is a bit dark (the windows of the place front onto another building) but as you probably won't be spending much of your day in the apartment while being in an amazing NY, it shouldn't be a problem for you;)
Shailah is a great host, warm, friendly, welcoming. When I arrived she offered me a cup of tea, showed the apartment and offered her help in case of any questions.
Thank you for offering your place Shailah!
I definitely recommend it!
