Emmory is a a communicative and wonderful host! We got very good information from the moment we booked this place, and she is also very flexible (e.g. stored our luggage without a hesitation after the checkout as we had to wait for an evening flight back home.
The location was within walking distance from many interesting places, at least for us. There are cafes, restaurants and grocery stores very near the apartment. As New York is the city that never sleeps - if you are a very sensitive sleeper, you might want to bring ear plugs with you just to play sure.. :)
