Zare and his assistant were very reactive (little trouble with the entry code fixed within minutes). The apartment is incredibly located and very calm from outside noises for NYC. Beds are very comfortable and this basement flat is fully equipped.
The cons : the heating system is on a cycle which leaves you very warm temperature at bedtime and very cold in the morning, especially in the bathroom where it seems to be no heating system at all. Besides it is very noisy when it turns on.
The price range was very reasonable for NYC so overall I would recommend staying at Zare’s, and would myself definitely come back !
