Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located on the Upper West Side, this sleek apartment is a great fit for those travelling on business or looking to visit NYC's countless sights. Just a short walk from Central Park, this spot also offers a welcomed break from the city buzz. At home, you'll find everything needed for a comfortable long-term stay, including a study desk area and a kitchenette – though we think this is best suited to prepping light bites. There's also a single sofa bed here, however, space is limited so we recommend the home for a maximum of two people.

About Upper West Side
Stately townhouses and grand apartment buildings characterise this affluent, family-friendly neighbourhood nestled between two parks (Central and Riverside). The mature, refined feel of the residential side streets balances with a buzzy bar and bistro scene along the tree-lined avenues – you’ll never be short of a brunch cafe or Jewish bakery here (and by the way, the cookies at Levain are legendary for good reason).
