The place was very clean and had everything we needed. The location was great - nice and quiet neighborhood close to most highways and major attractions. My only complaint would be the noise. I know that this comes with it being a NY basement apartment, but you could hear literally everything upstairs. Every footstep, walking up and down stairs, chairs moving, you name it. Then the boiler did a very loud clacking noise every so often. This was especially disturbing through the night considering we were with our baby who is a very light sleeper.
