We liked Melissa's place but I would caution folks who want to stay there. The first time we stayed, we arrived to a dirty apt that was not ready for us. Melissa apologized and compensated us so we gave her the benefit of the doubt and decided to come again (the location is very convenient to our son's place). When we came this time, we were shocked to find the apt in the midst of AC installation (in the middle of the NYC summer), with the AC units still in the boxes. Melissa explained that it was out of her control and that the contractor was supposed to finish the job a couple of days before. Melissa compensated us for that night and arranged a mobile AC the next day, but from the interaction with her we learned that she lives an hour away, she has several units in the building, and tries, sometimes unsuccessfully, to run her units remotely. There were other smaller issues with the apt- only one toilet paper roll, only one garbage bag, dirty sheets in the closet, a faulty showerhead, the code we received to the entrance door was not correct, etc. Bottom line - the apt itself is nice and will be a good value for your money, but due to the way these units are being run and maintained- be prepared for surprises.
