The apt is excellently located, close to public transportation and stores in Park Av. It is like pictures published by Mario. Although he was not in NYC during my stay he was always available by e-mail and phone. The stairways is somewhat dangerous at the begining, but as soon as you get used to it, there is not any problem. The apt is cozy, well equipped, ideal to go alone, or on a business trip. I d definitely go back.
