We are a young couple and stayed at Phoebe's place for 4 nights. We never met Phoebe in person but her sister Mabel was extremely friendly and helpful.
The apartment is small but cosy. The building and entrance hall are really old, but the apartment itself has a modern feel. The second bedroom was not occupied when we were there (except for the last night), so we mostly had Phoebe's place to ourselves.
The kitchen was clean and fully equipped. We had breakfast there and cooked twice. There's a fresh supermarket nearby, really convenient.
There is no living room but being in NYC, that didn't really bother us:-). The room itself is spacious and has a lot of natural light. It's next to a big street but ear plugs are provided.
You can almost see the subway stop from the apartment, it's so close! You have to take two lines to get to Manhattan but it's really not far. Would stay here again!
