I so enjoyed my stay at Menachem’s! The apartment is just as it looks in the photos, and it’s sparkling clean. Lots of neat little amenities, like the bedside charging cables, and a washer and dryer! (I didn’t use them, but I could imagine doing so if I had stayed longer.) Communication and check-in were both very smooth. Because it’s a bit below street level the apartment doesn’t get a lot of direct sunlight, but it’s very well lit, so that was never an issue for me.
The apartment might seem to be a bit out of the way, but the neighborhood is wonderful. It’s a New York tourists rarely see: leafy streets with big single-family homes, and a mind-bogglingly diverse population. It’s well worth experiencing.
I certainly hope to stay at Menachem’s again, if only to meet the chickens next time!
