We visited the apartment for five days. He was very friendly. He gave us a few advices for our trip to NYC. The apartment was (for two people) big enough. Everything was clean. There were all facilities we needed. Some negativ aspect is the noise inside. We heard every step in the apartment abowe us. Furthermore, the pictures from the rooms on airbnb look more sunny than the real apartment is. The rooms are in the basement. Aditionally, we can't lock the door of the bathroom.
The way from the apartment to manhatten was about 40min. We recommand the longterm ticket for the subway/bus.
