The apartment is large, very well maintained, well appointed, clean and has everything that you might need. You get much more than you'd get in a hotel in Manhattan. The bathroom has the largest shower that I have ever seen in NYC, including a giant rain shower that is lovely to step into. The street is quiet and residential, but the short walk to the subway gives you all of NYC. It's super easy to get into Manhattan. Claudia and her husband were wonderful hosts and they took care of any questions or concerns immediately. I strongly recommend it.
