This was a fantastic find! Izumi is a faultless host. She was totally responsive, and the apartment was all it was written up to be. The place was clean, sunny and large by NYC standards. It is close to the East River and the park across from 85th street on the river. The neighbourhood is really lovely and there is a Citibike rack right outside, which is a major bonus. I will absolutely return there on my next visit. The only word of warning I would give is that if you feel the cold, ask Izumi for a space heater (she offered me one, but I didn't take it in the end) - the heating doesn't come on as often as expected.
