We chose this place due to the great reviews however we can't quite confirm all of them. Elle was a great host and quick in responding. The apartment was as described and looked just like in the pictures. All the amenities were accurate and functional. There is no fan or window in the bathroom. There is barely any room to store your personal belongings. The reason we felt highly uncomfortable in the apartment though were the cockroaches. We are not sure if this is normal for New York standards, but everyday we killed at least 2-3 of them. It particularly bothered us when we found one in the coffee machine and when one ran across the table while we were eating our dinner on it. After finding the cockroaches it deterred us from eating or cooking in the apartment at all.
