Mei's apartment is a ZEN SANCTUARY!
Very much enjoyed my stay. Mei is a great host,
very good communication.
Apt is up a few floors via elevator (great if you have heavy luggage).
Yes, the building itself has an odd smell to it, but that is
only in the hallways and elevator. I did not smell it in Mei's apartment. It smelled A-OKAY. It's just an odd quirk of that building.
LOVED the LOCATION - one block from Central Park!
Tons of cafés and restaurants - both with an "old neighborhood" vibe and "new/hipster" vibe, so you can choose your own adventure.
Loved it, would stay there again. Mei is a great Host.
