The apartment is really close to a subway station that takes you to manhattan very easily. Its a large apartment with a well equipped kitchen, great wifi connection, hot shower. There are some restaurants and markets/grocery stores nearby. We had some trouble with the towels, they were not clean. But Josh contacted me apologizing and gave me a refund to buy new towels. Also, the add says theres a tv, but actually its just a monitor for you to plug in your notebook, if you're carrying one. Not a problem as you probably wont be watching much tv in NY, but the add should be clear about that. Overall it was a good experience.
