The apartment was exactly what my friend and I needed - it was clean, had no frills, and put us in the heart of one of the best neighborhoods in the city - 1 block from the subway and just minutes from the city. It is perfect for anyone who just needs a safe, spacious and clean place to crash while in the city. If you're looking for hotel-style luxury at this price point (eg if you're disconnected from reality) or aren't okay with traditional East Coast urban living, then this isn't for you. But, if you're looking for a safe place, great location, gracious hosts, and a real NYC experience then definitely consider this place.
