A good rental for a trip like mine, whose primary goal was to get things done. Pluses: rock-solid connection to the Internet; reasonably priced rental; very low noise level; good air conditioning; location close to *three* subway lines, abundant public transportation; plenty of shops providing necessities for daily life. Minuses: no kitchen stovetop; owners still need to invest a couple nights' worth of rental fees on a handyman who goes around the place fixing many things that really need a skilled hand. Owners indicated they plan to do this but haven't yet got around to it, so that might improve in the future.
Would recommend to whomever's comfortable with serviceable, utilitarian lodgings; would not recommend to travelers expecting posh digs, or who want to stay in an upscale and/or touristy neighborhood (although this one is quite safe).
