The apartment is in the best location - great shops, bars, restaurants and museums are all within walking distance. Key pick-up and drop-off was easy with a digital code at a local bar. We visited during a cold snap and found the apartment to be warm enough, but the heating system was quite noisy. This is a problem in many old NYC buildings, so it’s not the fault of the host but it could be a consideration for light sleepers. We also found the mattress in the bedroom was too soft for proper support, so we used the comfortable sofa bed in the lounge instead.
Although we never met the hosts, they were quick to respond by email and allowed us to check in early. We enjoyed living like locals in such a cool part of town and would love to visit again during the warmer months!
