We had an amazing stay! The unit is very spacious, and looks exactly how the photos show it.
It is on a third floor and stairs are the only way to get up and down, so be prepared. It was very clean, and very well equipped. We bought food for breakfast and were able to prepare it without issues every day (kitchen, frying pan, toaster, etc.). There are several stores close by where you can buy anything you need. It is about a 5 minute walk from the nearest subway station, which we took pretty much every single day to go downtown. Same thing for bus stops. The apartment and the street it was on felt pretty safe, but a few blocks to the west we did feel like we had to be a little more cautious, but nothing too bad. Communication with the host was excellent. We expected to receive several packages while we were there and we received all the help possible to make sure we got what was delivered. The bed was VERY comfortable and huge. That was a big plus after the long days of walking around NYC.
