We stayed at Karema's apartment for six nights and it was a great choice. The apartment is spacious, clean, well decorated and we liked Karema's attention to detail. The building is relatively old and you can see that in a couple of places inside the apartment (e.g. the kitchen cabinets and drawers) but the apartment's overall state is good and everything is functional. We could hear some noises from neighbouring apartments (I guess the walls are a bit thin) but during the night everything was quiet so this wasn't a problem. The neighbourhood was safe (we returned home after midnight a couple of times and everything was fine). The building has a 24/7 doorman. There's a subway station (Newkirk Plaza) less than a 10-minute walk from the apartment. Karema was always quick to reply to our messages and was very helpful. I would definetely recommend her apartment.
