This apartment is clean, spacious for NYC, and well laid out with a new kitchen and bath. The historic woodwork throughout is lovely and the neighborhood is incredibly quiet. Booking process and communication was easy. We enjoyed a relaxing, memorable stay in a neighborhood ideally located for a busy couple of days of theatre, art museums and park hikes from north Central Park to Inwood Hill. Subway and bus access is conveniently close and it is easy to get anywhere in Manhattan from here (my hubby and I walked home from the local subway stop at 1am and felt perfectly safe). There are a number of great restaurants (soul food, Latino, jazz dinner clubs) and convenience stores within close walking distance. Monkey Cup coffee house, a short walk away, is the absolute best— we returned daily for incredible coffee drinks, homemade, gigantic pastries and a welcoming vibe.
We enjoyed this place more than apartment rentals in Midtown and Lenox Hill and hotel stays in the Financial District and made friends with some resident neighbors. We would return in a heartbeat.
