The owners were lovely, even left out a bottle of wine. The apartment was roomier than expected, well furnished and clean. The garden in the back is a nice feature. It really does not feel like you are in Manhattan. The apartment itself is quiet.

There were 2 negative aspects: the apartment was dark even at mid-day in the summer. I needed to turn on lights to see anything on the lower level. There are no laundry facilities on the premises as listed. Since one of the main reasons I took the apartment was easy laundry access,( I stayed 5 nights), this caused further inconvenience.
