A huge apartment, very clean, in a very quiet and safe neighborhood, well connected to the city center by the green line (47th street stop). And the owners, very kind and discreet. Ideal in every way. The only thing to keep in mind is that it does not have a kitchen (but it does have a coffee maker and microwave).

The apartment was great, with breathtaking lake, park, and city views. Ample and comfortable, also the swimming pool and indoor garden are beautiful and much enjoyable -- it's a whole floor#7 dedicated to the pool, garden, and shared dining room with barbecue facilities. The location was perfect, especially for us who love "walking the city", parks and lakeside trails. Staff was also very helpful, in particular, I shipped several small and large eBay/Amazon packages, all ok.

Everything about this was perfect. The cute little apartment was very clean and comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen so we were able to have breakfast in and save a few quid! The location was in a quiet and safe neighbourhood with very simple and affordable access to the city. Probably my favourite stay throughout my travels around the states thus far. The owner was very easy to contact and very helpful in regard to any questions or queries we had or any help we needed while we were there.
