The location is great, access to Manhattan is very easy. Just use one of several subway lines with stops within a block or two of the apartment.
The apartment itself is very nice. Naturally, given the location, it is not the largest. But it is easily big enough for two. The decor is pleasant, the kitchen is small but adequately equipped and perfectly sufficient for at least few days. The bed is very comfortable with a memory foam top.
Checking in was very easy. Devon was waiting for me as I navigated myself from JFK (accidentally taking an indirect route). She was there to answer questions when I arrived, and available by phone/text/email the rest of the time.
