The apartment is quite cozy and clean. The accessibility to the 2 train is awesome. We were able to get anywhere in Manhattan easily! The sandwiches across the street were very tasty. Also, the price of the rental was fantastic!
I wish that the host was more flexible about check-in/check-out. She made situations more stressful and unfortunately dampened our experience a bit. We asked for a later check-in time, since our flight arrived late, and she was not able to accommodate us. She was also worried about towel stains that were easily washable.
Please also be aware that the furnace is constantly pumping heat into the apartment and is controlled by the building. Luckily, there are two air conditioners in the unit that can help counteract this.
