We enjoyed our time at Joe’s place. It was clean and had everything we needed. The location was just steps to Central Park, museums including The Met, good food and shopping. The neighborhood is lovely and peaceful. We got to catch the Macys Thanksgiving parade which was about a 15 min walk across the park. Around the corner, Sant Ambroeus has wonderful bakery items and we indulged on their delicious cookies everyday. During rush hour the subway was a better way to get to lower Manhattan or Brooklyn. The subway was only a couple blocks away and it’s so easy to use. Overall, though, we enjoyed the neighborhood so much we spent more time where we stayed.
