Julia's place was as described. Location is good, close to the Empire State Building and the subway. Price was better than comparable hotels. Checkin and checkout were smooth and easy. We didn't use the kitchen beyond the fridge, but there were good basics available; dishes, utinsils, pot. It was nice to have the closet to store things. The air conditioning was wonderful on the warm days. We had 3 adults and felt like there was sufficient room. Like hotel room, but with the added benefit of kitchenette. We stored our luggage with the front desk the day we left, and that was easy and very convenient. Julia was great to send emails with information. We didn't need to reach out for anything, but I'm sure she would have been helpful.
