Matei's place is exactly as stated. Up to date on all the amenities bathroom, kitchen and bedrooms. From the moment I booked the apartment my communication and questions were answered promptly. The apartment is in Lower Manhattan near China Town. The apartment faces Roosevelt Park which gives you the feeling of being a local. Matei has furnished the apartment like a magazine and everything has been upgraded. As to space for a New York apartment it is above the standard and was a joy not to feel cramped. The apartment has the necessary utensils and appliances however you do need to provide your own coffee and may need to get essentials for your stay which was convenient as there is a small grocery store on the corner. The bathroom was equipped with shampoo and body wash which was a surprise but welcomed. The apartment is on the fourth floor no elevator but for me I saw it as my exercise for the day but for those who have medium luggage it will be a challenge but not impossible. As to getting around I used Via or Uber which was costly as I found myself going uptown more but the subway is nearby and if your okay with that then the location is not a problem. My stay at Matei's was very enjoyable and would not hesitate in recommending or staying again. Note for those who want to arrive early Matei's is very accommodating but is based on prior guests and departure however I did find that lockers are available thru out the city which can do hourly or daily (StoreMe).
