Check-in was very easy. The apartment is as described. Bed is very comfortable altho' the pullout not so much (better off just sleeping on sofa). Expect street noise as the apartment is on first floor right on a busy street. Since we were there on a weekend, the street noise (motorcycles & booming car radios) went well into the wee hours of the morning. The subway sounds like it goes right under the building and that takes a little getting used to. It is nearby a few restaurants, The Cloisters and subway station is a short walk. A lot of the restaurants deliver food for free which is great! The only real issue we had was the apartment not being cleaned in between last guest and us. Hoping to work that out with the host.
