The place was great for our 4 days visit of NY. It has an excelent location, very close to central park - you can go for a walk or run in the morning- and the hip area around Columbia University, so you can experience the local NY vibe. It is also very well connected to all turist landmarks. The appartment is shared, but we hardly noticed anyone during our stay and it was very clean. Max was very flexible (let us keep our luggages until the evening of our departure). I highly recommend it for your stay.
