Other things to note DISCLOSURE: We manage our apartments professionally. For any guest staying for longer than 30 days, we provide monthly cleaning for each apartment as we want to maintain the apartments in good and clean condition. This also allows us to address any minor issues like changing a light bulb, cleaning the filters of the AC units or opening a clogged drain. Depending on the rate and the length of the stay, sometimes it’s complimentary, but we typically add this charge to the rent during the reservation process. I hope you understand that this is customary when you rent a furnished apartment for longer than 30 days. Please note, this is just a service many tenants ask for and we are happy to provide. We pay for the cleaning supplies ourselves and don’t make any money on the monthly cleanings. OUR PET POLICY OUTLINES THE NUMBER OF PETS, WEIGHT LIMIT AND BREED RESTRICTIONS ALONG WITH RELATED FEES. PLEASE DISCLOSE ALL INFORMATION ABOUT ANY PETS YOU INTEND TO KEEP DURING YOUR STAY WHEN YOU INQUIRE OR/AND SUBMIT A "RESERVATION REQUEST". PLEASE NOTE, with advanced notice to the tenants, owner has the right to show the apartment to prospective tenants, have access to the apartment for maintenance (AC filters cleaning for example) or repair purposes. The building is completely network wired which is managed professionally by the owner. The building has cameras on each floor. Entry to the building is accessible with a fob connected to a computerized access point and IP based audio/video intercom system. The apartment is network wired and both Wi-Fi and wired internet access is available. Tenants have free of charge access to the laundry room in the building with two washers/two dryers. The normal check in date is 4:00 pm and check out time is 10:30 am unless other arrangements are made with the owner. PARKING: Being a high-end residential area, Upper West Side where our building is located is one of the rare areas where you can still park for free. You can park on the street free of charge except for four days a week between 8:30 am to 10:00 am, Mon and Thu on the North side of our street and Tue and Fri on the South side of the street, because of street cleaning. I would say, for the most part the residents park in the street and you don't need a parking permit. During these four days when the street sweeper comes between 8:30 to 10:00, all cars which are parked, you can move your car to the middle of the street or double park so that the sweeper can go thru. After the sweeper is gone, neighbors move right back to their parking spot, but the driver needs to stay in the car till 10:00 am. If you are on the side which does not have the street cleaning, you can park as long as you want, and it is free. I would say, most residents are able to find a parking spot so that they don't have to move their car during the street cleaning. There is a paid parking garage two blocks south, on 83rd street between Columbus and Amsterdam and some tenants might have used it as a long-term parking. If you want to find a long-term parking and don't need the car every day, you can probably find a less expensive parking garage on the west side of Manhattan as you get closer to the Hudson River. I believe you can probably shop around once you are in the city. Now, this information applies to the street and not to the avenues! I believe we pay about $ 10.75/2 hours on Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues. You are allowed to park a maximum of an hour or two since you cannot pay more with the park meters. Few spots are reserved for commercial parking till 1:00 pm, but I would say if it is for couple of hours you can always find a spot on the avenues as well as with park meters. I hope I was able to answer your question, please let me know if you need any additional information.
