Apartment is exactly as described. It is very clean and in an excellent location. Mid-town. So much is walkable and the subway is a two block walk, Penn Station, 3 blocks. Cute coffee shop next door. A quick market on the other side. Whole foods 4 blocks. Like I said, location is excellent. I travelled alone so appreciated the security of a 24 hour doorman.
The apartment is small and the host does live there sometimes so she has many of her plants and decorations about the apartment. I was a little nervous when I had to move things so I could lay my things out but the good far outweighed any little inconvenience. A couple other reviewers mentioned a strong perfume fragrance. I talked to Catia about this ahead of time, telling her that it would be a problem for me. She was able to air the apartment out so that I didn't sneeze or have a headache the whole time I was there. That would have been a disaster! The bed was very comfortable. There's a TV and a small kitchen but I didn't really use either (except for a few refrigerated snacks) because I was out most of the time which I imagine most guests will be! I did have to work one day while I was there. I do telehealth and the WiFi was strong and I had no problem connecting with my clients.
Catia's communication is excellent and check-in is easy. Had a great time!
