This was so well located. We really were guessing on where we wanted to be in Manhattan. It had been a few years and things change, popular night spots and shopping. But we were so pleased with the surrounding options. Dinning was wonderful. Coffee and breakfast spots all over. As well as shopping and cultural outlets. Metro is very close 2 different lines within 5 minute walk. You do get your exercise walking up to the flat - but it's good to work off all that great food. The apartment was super spacious - light and bright with a wonderful sky light to brighten the space. Definitely as advertised. We didn't cook because there were so many options not to, but it seemed fully equipt with everything you would need. Gary was super responsive to my texts when we needed clarification. He let us stay an extra 2 hrs on checkout which was really great. Loved it - would stay there again in a heart beat!
