Jay's place is a fantastic location for the Upper East Side. Walking to the Met, Central Park, coffee shops, lots of restaurants. We were a family of 5 with 3 young adult children. The apartment is on the 4th floor (no elevator) but not a problem even with all of our luggage (we had just picked up our son at school, so we had a lot of luggage!) We did not meet Jay, but corresponded with him by email prior to arriving. Sergei met us at the door and helped carry the luggage up as well--thank you! We arrived after 7pm, and had to be out the door for a family rehearsal dinner in 30 minutes. Sergei gave us the basics, and was informative re. the specifics we needed.There are 2 very nice bedrooms and a pull out bed in another room. The apt is very light and spacious for a Manhattan apartment. The kitchen seemed to have everything, but we did not cook at all, so I cannot speak any more to that. Wifi worked well, which is very impt for us. The bathroom is narrow and small (normal for Manhattan, but small if you are not used to that), and they provided large, full containers of shampoo, conditioner and liquid soap. There are also enough mirrors so that getting ready for a wedding with 5 people was easier than I thought it might be, given a smaller bathroom. The bedding and towels were all good quality, and the beds were very comfortable. Photos on website are very accurate. It was a very warm weekend, and the AC was key!
Overall, a great place to stay in NYC. We will hopefully be back soon!,
