The place is quite unique for Manhattan. The flat develops on three floors. Full of atmosphere. Joanna lives normally there and rents occasionally. This is positive because the place is not aseptic, it's alive. In the other side, you feel to be like a guest, meaning you do not know what to touch and what not. The flat is very old, therefore there are some downside, like the heating system that is noisy and not efficient to heat up the whole apartment in the same way. The windows could not be opened because fixed with cellophane to improve the isolation, but then it was not possible to change air. On the basement lives the tenant and this is very useful in case of needs. I had a problem with a toilette and Joanna reacted very quickly to fix it, compensating me back, for the troubles. The cost is very high, but aligned to the cost of life in Manhattan, that is simply crazy. But again, this is part of the game if you want to visit NYC. To conclude, a very good experience.
