I was in New York for two weeks for business (I'm a very frequent traveller to New York). The apartment was great, just like in the photos - very tidy and spacious. The host was friendly, and the building was nice with friendly doormen etc.

There's lots of amenities within a couple of blocks, including good food shops, gyms, launderettes etc.

There isn't a subway super close, which meant I tended to get taxi's more than usual (they go past the building frequently so very easy to catch), but that's more because I'm lazy - there are stations a few blocks away.
