The place is pretty clean, I would suggest bringing your own towels. Location is awesome, 10 minute walk to the subway and about the same or less to a market, bars, restaurants, coffee shop, etc. It's actually a fairly quiet area considering it's on a main road. Please be aware that most New York apartments don't have central heat/air so don't be surprised about the window unit and fans (that's a normal thing). There are no directions within the house rules on how to check in or what is required for check out, you'll need to contact the host directly.
