Joe's apartment has everything you need for a short stay in one of the coolest neighborhoods in Manhattan. It's been recently renovated and is very clean and fresh. My husband and I were in town for the Winter Jazzfest, and the location couldn't have been better; we were able to walk to all the venues each night, and strolled around the eclectic surrounding neighborhoods during the days. Found a free parking space on a nearby street. The beds are comfortable and the apartment itself is very quiet at night. Plenty of daylight, particularly in the bathroom. The photos are actually of a similar apartment which is a mirror image of Joe's, so the table & appliances are configured somewhat differently; not a big deal, but the table & chairs would be a tight fit for 4 people. We didn't cook any meals (too many good restaurants nearby!), but it was convenient to have the essentials (toaster, microwave & coffeemaker) for breakfasts. The WiFi is quite slow, so I ended up just using my phone's cellular service. Communication with Joe was excellent, and he even offered to let us stay beyond checkout time since he didn't have another guest checking in on our departure day. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely come back. Highly recommended!
