The apartment is small but nicely furnished, there is a little kitchen with the basics for tea and some simple cooking. The shower is very small but otherwise everything is fine. You are located in east harlem which is a lively and colourful neighbourhood and it's an easy walk to the #6 which if you want to visit central Manhattan you will be on this train a lot. Alexandra was very nice in allowing us to check in early so we could rest after our flight.
