This is a very cute apartment, fairly spacious living/kitchen area. The bedroom is a little small but it's just a place to sleep. Yes, newly remodeled but lacking some essentials. Mattress and pillows were very poor. Beware that if you go when it's cold, like we did, that the windows cannot be shut properly and a lot of cold air comes in. No central heating, there's a space heater in the bedroom and one in the living area, the latter was not working. We had to take the heater from the bedroom to heat the living space. So the bathroom and living area were very cold. Lights in the ceiling of the living area were not working. There was a lamp by the couch and a lamp on the kitchen counter.
The neighborhood is not bad. We arrived late at night and it was a little spooky as the lighting in front of the apartments were not good.
Nonetheless, we had a blast in New York!
