Unfortunately we can only give 3 stars because of the cleanliness. Towels had hairs on them and stains, and there was also a used plaster on the armchair. Beyond that, we also felt the place just didn’t ‘feel’ clean, which for a long term stay, was a bummer.
On the good side, Matthew was extremely responsive and reimbursed us to get new towels, the place is good value for money (3k for 30 days in NYC is excellent in our opinion), and it is 5 mins walk to the subway. Also worth noting is that Matthew did say he would address the towels issue with the cleaning service.
The area wasn’t our favorite, but there are a few local gems (Pronto Cafe and a Salvadorian restaurant) that were great to frequently visit.
