We just stayed at Jae's apartment for the second time. It is a 3rd floor walk-up, so we got our exercise. The apartment is clean, spacious, comfortable, and stocked with all the necessities.
There is a wine shop on the ground floor, a laundromat 2 doors down and the Montrose Subway station about 4 blocks away, making getting into Manhattan very convenient. The street on which the apartment is located is a busy one and there is a fair amount of nighttime traffic noise, but the air conditioner in the bedroom helped neutralize the noise.
