Laura was a great host and very welcoming! The apartment looks just like the pictures and it really is cute as a button! It is small but its cozy and perfect for a quick weekend in NYC. The neighborhood was fine and the neighbors kept to themselves. The first night we stayed there it was St. Patrick's day so we were a little worried it was going to be that loud every night but it quite down a lot as the weekend went on. Overall it is an adorable apartment for the price and location!
