This apartments’ location is a good mix of: near Central Park, Good eateries (sushi, pizza, and amazing bagels) plus regular stores such as 24hr Duane Read, Starbucks etc all in walking distance. It’s definitely on the very edge of gentrification (a cross fit studio is down the street) but still with some more original New York touches to keep it real!
The apartment itself has its own entrance with no steps which is a great bonus considering the size of my suitcase, plus generous bedrooms, kitchen and living room spaces for a NY apartment - all rooms with A/C provided which was much needed on those 93F days we experienced.
The owner is very polite and fast at responding. We have agreed we would like to return next time we are in NY.
