Firstly, location was perfect. we were travelling with my parents who arnt great at getting around anymore and the 5 min walk to the subway was perfect for them. 3 min walk to an amazing view of the manhatten skyline. excellent place for people who are new to NY and can use the 'f' line to get anywhere.
Ample supply of towels and linen and also found some nice surprises in the pantry such as your basics you would never buy on holiday (ketchup, sugar, cooking oil ect...)
Apartment is as described, photos are genuine. good for 4 people, not practical for 6. The apartment looks nice and it was clean.
On the downside the apartment isnt what i can call practical/ user friendly. chairs are flimsy and very weak, beds quite uncomfortable, there is a hall table that you cant touch without it collapsing. No toaster (not the end of the world i know) kettle is stove top.
The main negative experience i had was although she seemed lovely via text i never met Dikla. Her husband greeted us for 2 mins on arrival and didnt overly provide much information about the apt or area. We had a problem with a leaking roof in bathroom on new years eve (the tennant upstairs spilled water) and they were very flippant and slow reacting to come out and look at problem. 12pm next day. (water vs electricity should be a priority in my experience). husband shrugged it off and said its not the 1st time.
All up, its a nice place to stay. Location good, shops close, honest description. But the price tag belongs to the area code, not the apartment.
