Huge thank you to Kris who is answering emails quickly and doing his best to accommodate arrival and departure times. Much appreciated!
As far as the apartment goes, it has pros and cons.
Pros:
> Central,
> Kitchen well-equipped,
> Nicely decorated,
> Functional.
> Spectacular view (if you like skyscrapers)
Cons:
> Since it's on the 30th floor, "fresh" air goes through ventilation system: sometimes it's OK, sometimes it brings bad smell. Unfortunately, the window of the bedroom was broken so it was not possible to open it at night and get a little bit of fresh air.
> The large windows are facing the equivalent of Times Square in NYC. Which means huge LED screens 24/7 on, and lots of flashes of light in the apartment. It would be nice to have a an additional layer of curtains to make sure guests can sleep in the dark and avoid being bombarded by shiny ads while in the living room.
> Apartement is smaller than it looks on the pictures.
To summarize, Kris' apartment is for you if you always dreamed about living in the heart of Times Square and face huge shiny adds non stop.
It's not for you if you like to open windows in the morning and watch peaceful landscapes.
