we really were not expecting much as this was our 1st trip to New York, but this apartment was surprisingly amazing. fantastic location, close to trains, coffee and the most amazing food I've ever eaten.
we did have a little miscommunication with the host, however her communication itself was impressive. she made sure we arrived and were able to get in, asked if we needed anything and reminded us of check out. we never ate in the unit....because there was too much delicious NY food places around, but it has a small fridge with some condiments (I assume left by a previous tenant) and a cute little gas stove.
the stairs into the unit are steep and narrow, but definitely add to the New York feel. the beds were the most comfortable I've ever slept in (other than my own). I probably wouldn't stay here with my children again, but it would be perfect for a couples get a way or a girls trip.
my only recommendations would be to bring an umbrella (we searched everywhere and couldn't find one), although the 1 rainy day didn't detour us for exploring Brooklyn. Also, I'd recommend bringing your own hair dryer as the one offered is older and sparked when on.
overall, I'd stay here again (sans kids). Cute quiet building in a great location. It really helped us get that " New York" feel.
