Sarah met us at the apartment, showed us around and went through all the "housekeeping" details. She gave us a phone number that we could call at any time if anything wasn't working well or we had any questions. In my experience renting apartments short-term this is highly unusual and very welcomed. The area is excellent as far as cafés, restaurants and ease of getting to other parts of the city. Like most New York apartments, if you are a light sleeper the traffic on the street at all hours of the day and night might get to you. Otherwise the apartment is exactly as advertised; spacious with a reasonably comfortable queen-size bed. The bathroom is small but adequate and the kitchen is a typical New York galley kitchen (we didn't cook or even make coffee because cafés and New York restaurants were so close). All in all good value and you will be dealing with a really nice person.
