Traffic caused us to arrive later than planned, so James was unable to meet us with the keys to the apartment. He did, however, put them in a lock box close by (James stopped by later and introduced himself). The apartment was as advertised: 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, appeared clean for the most part, and all appliances worked. It was a very warm day in NYC, and the air conditioners were off when we arrived, so it took several hours to cool down the apartment. The best thing about the apartment is the totally enclosed patio just off the kitchen -- it was fabulous! Protected from the sun by trees, it was a cool place to relax. There is a propane grill and a table big enough to seat 8 people. We had a cookout the second evening and really enjoyed ourselves. Overall, we had a favorable stay and would recommend this apartment if you have a large group.
