I was extremely grateful to find Aura's place for my stay with not a huge amount of lead-in. This is neighbourhood I know well, and I was super jazzed to come back to a familiar part of NYC. The apartment was as the photos suggest. It has just what you might need when planning to spend the majority of a stay out and about, using this as a base for start and end of days. I was really delighted that there was a working space that I hadn't expected. The trickiness for me was that after a disrupted flight, and arriving at the apartment in the early hours of the morning, I had difficulty with the key situation. Aura's instructions were excellent, and her communication prompt and generous, but we had a little back and forth around workable keys, which made things slightly less than ideal. But I acknowledge that these things happen from time to time. Other than that, I had marvellous long sleeps on the comfortable bed, and great hot showers after a long time on international flights.
