We had a fairly busy itinerary during our trip, with excursions around the city and neighboring areas, and S's apartment was the perfect hub for navigating the city. It's within easy walking distance from a number of subway lines, and if you need taxis/rideshares they can be readily accessed mere steps from the building.
As travelers who enjoy exploring and discovering new food/restaurant experiences, the apartment's location was also perfect given the abundance of diverse dining options a few blocks in each direction. S was very accommodating with recommendations and suggestions, providing a comprehensive (but still not exhaustive) list of surrounding area restaurants at the outset of our trip.
The apartment is on a high floor in the building, and the views from each room are truly spectacular. As observable from the pictures, the panoramic views place you firmly in the action. S was generous with his time and the apartment's amenities, and we appreciated the efforts he expended on our behalf.
We would easily recommend S's apartment as a preferred alternative to the limited and more restrictive amenities of a hotel, particularly for those who are comfortable planning their own itineraries.
