“What stands out is the residence-style experience on the Upper West Side, plus the unusual perk of a free airport shuttle; the Latin fusion cuisine is also something of a draw. I think families, in particular, should appreciate the kid-friendly amenities and proximity to Central Park and museums; it's a solid choice for blending city exploration with comfortable downtime.”
