The location is fine and convenient to the subway system. However, I was disappointed in that the pictures in the listing are not of the same apartment we stayed. It was the same layout, but I would not describe the apartment as "luxurious and bright". Maybe bright, but not "luxurious." The communication with the host was not accurate, and I would consider him not responsive. Payment in full was required at the time of the reservation, and now I understand why. Overall the unit was ok and it met our needs.
