9. The place was not luxurious but for the money I think it is a great deal because:-it is on the Upper West side, away from the tourists, with a nice neighborhood feeling-don't do housekeeping everyday and I felt like this was my own apartment-1/2 block from the subway (or 2 1/2 if you need the orange/blue lines)-2 1/2 blocks from Central Park-1 block from a great supermarket with tons of gourmet stuff (saved money by doing a lot of meals 'at home', made a great Christmas dinner)-very quiet (no sirens, horns)I'd consider this place every time I go down to the city.
