Casper’s apartment is located in a convenient area of the city both from a walking and public transport point of view. The apartment is small but has the basics necessary for a New York base. The stairs mentioned by other reviewers are really only an issue at the start and conclusion of your stay if you struggle with your luggage, if not then the exercise won’t hurt you. Casper was away for the duration of our stay so we didn’t get to meet him, nonetheless his communication was timely and frequent. This apartment is not luxurious but is located in typical New York Dog Bone tenement apartment and as such is of some historic interest it has an authentic feel to it
