The apartment was very nice and pretty much what we expected. The place isn't in a residential area and was a little far from the subway stations. However, it was conveniently super close to a bus stop.
The communication was excellent and the host made all he could to make our experience comfortable and I appreciated that.
Other than some small issues (like the lack of a microwave oven), the apartment was fairly clean and tidy.
Finally, the price was fair. I think I could come back to this place on my next visit to New York.
