Overall we loved staying in this apartment, which was clean and bright. Apartment was exactly as described and has an excellent location across the street from the subway station. There is a nice supermarket less than a block away and the building has 2 elevators. We did not experience any noise during our stay. While the apartment does not have air conditioning, there is a good quality fan and we opened the window at night for cooler air. Cons: host's representative was 30 min late for check-in, and there was no laundry detergent provided for the washing machine.
