We've stayed in the apt for 4 nights. the place is very spacious and extremely clean! all the needs for living there for a few days are there. the neighborhood is quiet, though not too inviting. there's no big supermarket around that we found, only small grocery stores, but no!problem finding things. the time to get to the middle of Manhattan including the walk to the train is about half an hour. anyway, it was our first air bnb experience and a good one! thanks!
