The apartment is beautiful just as in the photos- it was bigger than I expected. Everything from free wifi, in-house heating and a comfy bed. Everything you would want.
It was a bit of a travel into the city though. As a newbie to New York (and the States) it meant long commutes in th train. If you are looking at spending most of your time in Manhattan then just expect to take two train lines into Midtown.
There isn't anything to eat that's close by, so is a good place if you're looking for a good nights rest and plenty space to chill.
We did have a safety concern when a party turned into a fight in one of the neighbours apartments, but that's something outside of anyone's control. it was a bit scary though as I'm from a small country and city so I wasn't used to hearing that.
But overall we were happy with the apartment and couldn't wait to rest after long days in the city (and on the train lol)
Thanks!
