This apartment is an excellent choice for an NYC stay! Claude is an excellent host - very communicative and friendly. The apt is small (as to be expected in manhattan) but great for 1-2 ppl, with an artsy + funky vibe and a great location near the subway, grocery, restaurants, coffee shops, Central Park, and the Met. As others have mentioned it’s 4 flights of stairs so beware if traveling heavy but I just had a carry on and it was no problem. The kitchen isn’t really fully functional, though there is a mini fridge and microwave. Shower is hot with great water pressure. Loved the art, and if you’re bored after a long day of sightseeing there’s a large tv + cable. WiFi is good. Claude met me for an impersonator check in, showed me all the light switches + details, and offered coffee shop recs! Check out was smooth and easy. Had a great stay + highly recommend for a solo traveler or couple!
