Pros: We arrived late afternoon and Sylwia was there to greet us. She let us into the apartment, gave us keys and the wifi code. The room was spacious and just what we needed with a clean and well presented bathroom. The shower was powerful and had good temperature control. The room was very warm so we often had the window open. The kitchen area was shared with the people in the room next to us and was fine for what we needed (fridge, microwave, kettle). The house is approx 10 mins from the PATH station that takes you straight to the World Trade Centre or 33rd Street ($21 for a 10-trip pass). Lots of people before us had complained about hot water pipes being very loud but we didn't find it a problem at all. When the toilet is flushed upstairs there was a loud gushing noise but it didn't wake us at night.

Cons: The wifi didn't work, it was extremely touch and go and we were only able to connect for approx 30 secs at a time. There were no bins/trash cans in the room or the kitchen - a little frustrating when making tea etc. During the early evening there were loud footsteps upstairs, though they usually stopped by the time we went to sleep. The mattress, although comfortable, was very creaky and loud.

We checked out on time and dropped the keys in the mailbox. Overall it was a great stay and great value for money. The cons were only small problems and I'd definitely stay here again and recommend it.
