The host is amazing easy going person and also very respectful. He was flexible with check in and check out hours, and it was very easy to communicate with him.
The apartment is in the 4th floor, but you just need to deal with 3 flights of stairs, what is not a big deal to me and my family (couple and 3 years old child), the only hard time is during check in and check out where you will need to carry all your bags (I did 3 trip up and down).
The rest of the apartment is good, very decorated for who likes art and cinema, which is my case. The heat is very powerful, during the hard winter of january we felt that we were in the beach inside home. All the building, including the apartment smells likes grandma’s house, what is very common in very old building, what means 80% of the buildings in NYC.
The locations is superb, there are many places around, in almost the same block you’ll find 2 subways, a pharmacy, a huge supermarket, a grocery, what was very convenient to us during the winter and for who has a small child. Some blocks away you’ll reach the B&H Photo Store, the best one for electronics, the Meatpacking area with 5 blocks full of Art Galleries and a lot of other interesting things to see and do.

Resuming: I recommended it.
