We have lived perfectly for three months in this apartment. It has all the comforts for a long stay. It is a very bright and quiet apartment, in a historic building, a real museum. It is a 1 minute walk from the subway (lines A and C, with direct connection to Lower Manhattan) and in front of a small but beautiful park. The host was very kind and attentive to all our needs (a small power outage, a change of appliances, etc, etc...). He has always been very charming, with constant and excellent communication.
The apartment is located in Washington Heights, a very quiet and safe neighborhood. Several supermarkets, stores, pharmacies, a public library are some of the services you have in just a hundred meters.
Without a doubt it is an unbeatable place to live in New York.
