Phenomenal Location!
Five+ stars for location, size, balcony and high ceilings. Nice street in wonderful neighborhood with great restaurants and stores nearby. This apartment is literally less than a minute walk to Central Park and a subway station. Within minutes you can walk to all the big museums. Hosts were easy to reach and prompt with their responses.

Amazing, location, OK apartment
As others have noted, the location is fantastic and super convenient. The apartment is spacious with high ceilings and exposed-brick walls. I enjoyed sitting out on the balcony. The bed is reasonably comfortable, and the AC works well. The décor is unattractive and cluttered. The kitchen is functional (hot and cold water are reversed). The tub has a handheld shower head that is too high up, making it difficult to reach/use. The water was hot with adequate pressure. I didn't try to use the coin laundry in the building; there is a wash-and-fold down the block. The owners were responsive during my stay and accommodated my request to arrive early. That said, I experienced some issues. I was asked on two occasions when I would be out so they could “show” the apartment. I have never been asked this in a short-term rental, despite the owners’ insistence it is “standard in NYC.” A VRBO rep advised me that showings are not permitted unless it’s disclosed in the property listing. I hope the owners will update it. When I arrived, there was a broken dining room chair on the living room floor, the freezer was full of food, and worst, there was an extremely moldy soiled filter that must have been in the drip coffee maker for weeks. The items were removed and at my request the coffee maker was replaced. Later I discovered a dead mouse in a trap beside the refrigerator, which was removed later the same day when I reported it. I understand that it’s an older building and that mice and other pests can be an issue, but the place was not particularly clean (even aside from the moldy coffee filter). Despite the feedback in earlier reviews, there was only one set of sheets, one hand towel, two dish towels, and no bath mat. They were provided promptly when requested. There were few staples: no tin foil/cling film, spices, hand or bath soap, napkins, scissors, etc. Many of the nonstick pans were scratched up to the point where I did not feel safe using them. Overall, the owners did the bare minimum rather than ensuring a welcoming or pleasant stay. It’s a shame because the apartment could be fabulous.

Excellent location but ….
We rented this apartment for a month. The location is terrific. Less than half a block to Central Park, a block from a subway station, and a block from Columbus Ave with loads of restaurants. The apartment itself is fine, comfortable bed, but not Covid clean. On check-in, no kitchen towels, 1 face cloth, no bathroom hand towels. Saw the owner/manager (?) the second day. Kitchen towels and hand towels remedied that day but it took a WEEK to get face cloths! Whoever runs the building is a pack rat. Paint cans and interior building stuff in the lobby the entire month we were there. Going to the basement to do laundry is a hazard due to stuff on stairway and in the basement. Lobby and stairs could use a good cleaning — dirt in corners/wall edges. Stairs from sidewalk to entrance need a good cleaning too. Same with garbage can area. Owners/managers should compare the building’s entrance to the other brownstones on the street — all clean, most with lovely flowers and plants. Half way through the month I wanted the apartment cleaned and would, of course, pay for that. The owner/manager said it would take 5 hours. I said we didn’t need a Covid cleaning. Five house to clean a one bedroom 700 sf apartment? Really??? If location is all that matters, this is a great rental. But there are lots of better, well- taken care of vacation rentals on the upper west side. We would never rent in this building again.

Nice place and efficient manager
We have been staying in New York three times a year for 3 weeks or a month for just over 10 years with a hiatus due to Corona. The apartment is for us ideally located near central Park ... and the residence of our children. We appreciated the responsiveness of Renata who very quickly remedied the problems encountered when we arrived: A necessary cleaning and the non-functioning of the noisy heating, ,as in certain brownstones, of the building. Complementary appliances and air conditioning have very well remedied this inconvenience. Review Location: perfect proximity to metro and central park but also shops Equipment: Very well equipped kitchen with everything you need: Stove, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher. A small lack: only three glasses and three champagne flutes. Even for two people it's few Pleasant apartment with balcony and view of the gardens. Some points deserve renovation (chairs) There were only two of us, the apartment is offered for six, I don't think six can stay for so long. The description should be modified on certain points: There is a bathtub with jacuzzi but this one does not work (it is not in fact installed) and you can in fact only take showers as the bathtub does not have a drain closing. We have the feeling that everything is done to make things right... To be seen later

Could be perfect for many.
Here’s OUR list of “pros and cons” as an energetic couple, mid-seventies, having lived in Manhattan for over twenty years: First, our pros: 1. As others have written, the location is ideal from the perspective of transportation, safety, and access to restaurants, museums and other attractions. 2. The block is part of a true neighborhood and felt safe. 3. The apartment is quiet and quite roomy. It’s perfect for two, and has “all the basics.” We appreciated that everything worked. We were there during some chilly weather this month but the flat got quite toasty and comfortable. 4. The balcony off the LR overlooks well-maintained garden areas and must be terrific in milder weather. 5. The flat seems to have been remodeled and decorated with some thought some time ago. For the few issues that arose, the managers responded promptly. 6. The flat is exactly as described. No more, no less. Management of the unit (we don’t know who owns the apartment) was easily accessed and responsive. Then, our cons: 1. Again, as others have written, the furnishings show some wear. Itt did seem to us as though the flat had been vacant for some time prior to our being there. 2. Providing only one set of sheets, no bath-mat and only very-basic cable(no TCM) contributed to the minimal feeling of an otherwise nice apartment. The few issues we had were minor and quickly addressed, but really should not have been issues in the first place. 3. The internet connection/speed varied greatly. We were able to connect our ROKU and stream but sometimes not. This may be an issue with the provider (Spectrum) and nothing the apartment owners or unit management may be able to address themselves. 4. The building is a brownstone with about thirty stair-steps from the street to the flat—a consideration for those that have some mobility or other issues. While it appeared some ‘updating’ was being intended for the lobby the cosmetics of the building left something to be desired. Again, this can be addressed if the building-owners wish to. Bottom line: Looking for “luxe?” Then this unit is not for you. That said, the location of this apartment is terrific, the area felt safe, and the unit-managers were accessible and responsive. With attention to the building’s cosmetics and making the unit’s fittings more welcoming and complete, the apartment could be ideal and not just above average.

Great family memories from the Big Apple
Marc was absolutely wonderful, accomodating and helpful to a tee! The apartment was SUPER conveniently located to Central Park and the subway, which gave easy access to the city. The apartment itself is getting a little tired with respect to its finishes but that takes nothing away from our overall experience. Thanks again Marc.
