The home is very nice, exactly as pictured. Lots of space. There are 4 flights of stairs to get up to it, including a flight outside. The neighbourhood is not terribly safe, though it's only a few minutes walk from the 2/3 subway. We were not provided the correct keys on the first night and were locked out very late at night, resulting in us having to go to a hotel. They did respond fairly quickly once we got hold of them, but we had already had to leave for safety. The apartment was clean and well-appointed. Shower was good. No insects, which is great for NY. Very pretty street in daytime.
