great apartment! stayed here with my husband for about a month while working in the area. neighborhood has a nearby market, many great restaurants, cafes & dessert places. the space itself is very large especially for manhattan. the best feature is the in unit washer and dryer- much more convenient than wash and fold service. the only real issue we had was the bedroom faces the main street and there can be random middle of the night traffic noise (sirens, or beeping), and on certain mornings a (same) group of delivery men (maybe?) congregate on the corner underneath the bedroom window and talk quite loudly- but these are all parts of city living. dog friendly building and i once saw someone smoking on the inside steps- so building common areas may have the associated smells. other than those minor things everything else was great. had an amazing stay. Francesco was an accommodating host, the space was exactly as pictured, and the area was a beautiful to explore and walk around
