Description of the Manhattan vacation apartment rental

This is a new apartment the owner is presenting this year 2009. It is located on the second floor (one flight up) in building located at 80th street between Amsterdam & Columbus Avenue on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

Completely renovated large 2 bedrooms, one bath (6 persons occupancy) apartment hotel in this desirable section of New York City. Prewar all new hardwood floors throughout the apartment.

The kitchen has granite countertops with two chairs and fully stocked cabinetry. Stainless steel appliances are complemented by gorgeous marble tile. Full size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, utensils and chinaware.

The Bathroom has tile. Plenty of linens and towels, hair dryer, shampoo and soap.

Living room features a "decorative only" fireplace, large closet, coffee table, HDTV, internet access, dining table with four chairs and a large fold out sofa bed that fits two adults

The first bedroom has a queen size bed that fits two adults, the second bedroom has two single beds for two adults (the beds have wheels to create a single queen size bed, if need be)

Plenty of closet storage space in each bedroom with ample supply of linens and towels. Closet has ironing board and vacuum cleaner.

Air conditioners in living room and bedroom plus ceiling fans in each room provide ample coolness in summer.

You are walking distance to Central and Riverside Parks, Museum of Natural History, Fairways, Zabars, Movie theatres and Lincoln Center. Public transportation is one block away.

Safety
Ranked as one of the safest neighborhoods in Manhattan, famous people regard this upper west side neighborhood as safe, for we have actors Alec Baldwin a few blocks down, Ben Stiller and Mick Jagger, Barbara Streisand, Jerry Seinfeld, Demi Moore, and Madonna live nearby. The NYC police department 20th precinct is located two blocks away on 82nd Street and Columbus Avenue

Interesting places abound nearby

Dreamy and evasive Cafe Alou on 83rd between Columbus and Broadway is where Tom Hanks dated Meg Ryan in You Got Mail. The pastry is as luscious and decadent as the French decoration. A must visit. Then around the corner you have the best Hazelnut coffee in town. The place is called Drip and do pay attention to the stationary computers and myriad of folders. It is one of the most ingenious dating concepts in a coffee shop.

Then later at night you have Lava Lounge that has an exceptional red lounge room with huge pillows and a basement lava room. It changed names recently but ask around on 83-84th Street on Columbus and you will be directed in the right direction. In addition, just walking down Columbus you must take advantage of the exquisite Snapper presented at Calle Ocho between 82nd and 83rd Street on Columbus. It was spectacular and is a must treat. The oyster lovers will be pleasantly served on Columbus between 78th-79th Street at Ocean Grill with your own private fire place, find it and for a final enjoyment of privacy, find Cafe Artistes at 1 w. 67th. Of course, you must visit Tavern on the Green which is located a stone throw away in Central Park off Central Park West and 70th Street. These are the secrets of the Upper West Side. Indulge this and don’t forget that Lincoln Center and the Shakespeare in the Park have free performances all summer long, every summer. Lincoln Center has live music bands outdoors on Lincoln Plaza for free for 4-6 hours each Saturday night during the summer' All from Salsa, Jazz, and Classical to anything that makes you move.

 Just Right!, September 30, 2009

By Katherine Cowles (San Francisco, Ca)

This was a great place to stay - two nice bedrooms, good kitchen and comfortable. A great part of Manhattan and close to the trains. I'm going to stay here again! Katherine

 

 Great for Families Looking to Explore NYC, August 9, 2009

By Kathy and Paul Degutis (Herndon, VA)

The neighborhood is wonderful and the apartment was clean, well-equipped, and spacious enough for our family of five. The location could not be better, in a safe and fun neighborhood close to restaurants and attractions. We were able to explore the city easily from this "home base" with many attractions within walking distance and metro stops nearby. Central Park, the Natural History Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Zabar's, and restaurants galore are all within easy walking distance. We would definitely recommend the apartment and would stay again ourselves.

 

 safe and satisfied, May 25, 2009

By Craig Uthe (South Dakota, USA)

This second floor apt was in a safe neighborhood and close enough (within two blocks) to three subway lines. This is a long, narrow apt with larger bedroom in the rear with twin beds for two of our kids, a pullout couch in the small living room for our college son, and a smaller but adequate bedroom with a comfortable king size bed in the front of the apt. The walls are thin and we could hear a baby crying and people moving around above us. Yet, we were so tired we didn't mind. Renters were responsive and available. Didn't need more than an extra towel. Internet wokred well thru ethernet cable they provided. Safe enough that we let teenage daughter walk around the upper west side alone during daylight hours. Right next to Museum of Natural History. Need to climb about twenty fairly steep steps to get to your second floor apt. Highly recommend this for families of four or five who want to spend a week exploring New York. I would stay here with my family again.
