I had a great 6 week stay at Evan and Maria's place. The apartment is completely renovated, as per the photos, and actually bigger than I expected it to be. It feels like staying in a hotel, but it's nice having the kitchen and dining area if you are planning a longer stay and want to feel more at home. The only negative of the apartment is that there is not much natural light since I spent the weekdays working from home, but if you're a tourist and spending most of the time out, this isn't a drawback at all. There is a grocery store a block away and tons of great bars and restaurants nearby. There is also a cross town bus on the corner and the ferry is just a quick 15 minute walk to get to downtown Manhattan or Brooklyn. The neighborhood and building is quiet and very safe. Evan was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had via text and addressed any minor issues promptly. Would definitely recommend and would book this place again!
