We stayed in the apartment in the beginning of May for 9 nights. The neighborhood is not nice at night but is totally fine in the day time with a shop right opposite the place and a nice coffee shop and a little diner just down the road. The apartment is big, clean, looks like it does on photos and has a lot of cupboard space. The bed is huge and comfortable but very soft and squeaks a lot when you move. Towels are provided but unfortunately one of them had holes all over it and smelt very stale. The shower was very nice with good pressure but the bathroom itself smells strongly of musk or mould, not sure what exactly but pretty bad. Did not feel very safe at night while in the apartment as the front door doesn't have a good lock on it.
Magda was very quick to respond to our messages which was nice. The thing that wasn't nice was when we arrived late at night cold and tired and realised the kettle and the heating weren't working. After messaging the next day to inform Magda about those things we had a new kettle the same evening but the heating still wasn't working. There was no note or explanation so I had to message again. We were told that it was broken and they had to order a new part for it. It was very cold in the apartment and finally after 3 days we were brought a heater that didn't really help much as it was too small for the apartment. So for another couple of days we were quite cold anyway and as a result we both got ill which spoilt our holiday. I feel that the apartment should be checked after every stay to make sure everything is in working order.
Quiet good transport links to Manhattan on a Path train or a water taxi.
