Xiren made the entire process really seamless! The keys were waiting at a nearby deli and check in and check out were both quite easy.
The apartment really is a *6th floor walkup*, and it hot summer months, the narrow staircase can get really hot and humid. But Xiren describes it well in the listing.
The apartment itself is beautifully decorated with air conditioning (just in the bedroom), a full kitchen, and bathroom.
Not that the apartment is about a 20 minute walk to a subway line to get to midtown/Grand Central, which definitely added to the commute. However, with $5 uberPOOL in Manhattan, it wasn't a huge deal.
