This apartment was the perfect place from which to explore UWS and most places in Manhattan and the rest of New York. It is very close to several subway lines. The street is quiet and residential, exactly like in the description, but also very convenient because as soon as you turn onto one of the avenues there are plenty of shops, restaurants and a number of small to medium delis and supermarkets for your basic needs. Just the perfect spot for a stay that felt like home. I would particularly recommend this place for its location and residential aspects if you have been to New York City before and are back for a specific purpose. Central Park is ridiculously close by and very beautiful.

In terms of the place itself, it was clean, well-lit and luxurious for a small apartment (but the size is quite reasonable for Manhattan and this good neighborhood). Everything that was needed was in good supply, including cleaning supplies (only if you personally feel the need since the apartment was very clean when I found it), plenty of good quality kitchenware (including dishes as well as tools for cooking), and good machines like the toaster and coffee machine. Again, if you want a place that feels like home immediately, this is great.

Best of all though was the host. He answered every question promptly; was always polite; and met my requests within reason. He is both friendly and professional.

I highly recommend this place and this host.
