The apartment was comfortable and we liked the location. Plenty of places nearby to eat and close to the subway which made it easy to get around. We only used the apartment to sleep as we were out all day but there is a kitchen if you wish to cook.
As you enter the main door there are two sides to the apartment. One side is where the landlord lives and includes the kitchen, the other side is where we stayed and includes a shared area (has microwave, coffee maker and laundry facilities in) as well as the airbnb apartment. There are thin folding doors to close off your living area/bedroom from the shared area and a curtain to close off the shared area from the kitchen. (They do not enter the shared area if the curtain is closed.) We would definitely book again if we returned to New York and will recommend to our family/friends.
