We stayed in Philip's place for a month while we were working remotely and this place was perfect for the 2 of us! Firstly, the location of the apartment is perfect and makes it really easy to explore the area. It is located right next to (a 5 min walk) a few subway stations for the main subway lines. There are also amazing restaurants at every corner. Philip was also super helpful with everything we needed, and responded immediately. The apartment itself is pretty spacious for 2 people and had everything we needed - most specifically a workspace area with a desk and a chair. Also, in regards to street noise, there were mostly none. It was very quiet during the day and during the night. Sometimes you could hear people talking outside while walking by the apartment but that is as loud as it would get. We would definitely stay here again when we are back in NY.
