The place is a real gem. It’s a ground floor apartment in a red brick, right across the street from a historical mansion, a short walk from the subway, with groceries and restaurants nearby. The apartment used to be a bookstore specialising in black history - lots to read in your spare time! The owner lives upstairs and you couldn’t wish for a more knowledgeable and welcoming host. There’s also a very friendly kitty who likes to visit if you let him in. A very New York experience.
