Stephanie, the host, was fantastic. She responded to my texts within minutes, and was only ever purely helpful and supportive. The location was ideal for us. There was construction which made it noisy on one side of the apt. during weekdays, but what can we do? This is Manhattan ;-)
The apt. has good light, feels spacious and protected, has a fabulous kitchen for a studio, and would be quiet, I am sure, when there is no nearby construction. I like that the apt. is up a long steep staircase; that helped to get up out of the commotion of the busy street below.
