We had a great stay. Mich was a supportive host. The neighborhood was nice. Being close to the park was fun. Nice farmers market there on Sunday. Starbucks close. Grocery close. You do hear the sounds of the city. Which I would expect. It is only one flight up so easier to walk up to than many NYC apartments. Thoughtful things at the apartment like a Water filter pitcher, plenty of hooks for coats and such. We only bought one meal out and the kitchen had what we needed to prepare all our food. Good shower pressure. The WiFi worked well for streaming.
