A fantastic affordable place! not far from the N line (very reliable unlike some other lines!) and close to Manhattan. The most important things for me were: a clean shower with good water pressure and a kitchen with stuff for cooking. Everything is exactly like in the pics with one exception: two window ACs are installed in the bedroom and kitchen. You can't survive summer in NYC without ACs. The kitchen is facing the sunny side and the bedroom is a bit darker: perfect for healthy sleep. Since it is a ground floor apartment, I expected to hear passerby's conversations or trash trucks in the morning. But it was always very quiet, you can hear only birds chirping. The host is very responsive and asked me if I needed anything in the middle of my stay. I lived in NYC for 3.5 years and it is a gem for such a price range. People who complain or put less than 5-stars might have had unrealistic expectations about NYC. Will definitely book again!
