Due to the fact that Cathy was not at home at the arrival date (she mentioned it before) she could not check the cleaning service. The appartment was uncleaned! We called her via the bell and she organized a friend for helping us. He came some minutes later and cleaned the most important things like towels and bed clothes. On the next day the cleaning service worked well and we got the money for this first night back. So there can always happen something bad but Cathy's management was perfect.
The place of the appartment was great, near to subway but silent. Of course you need more than half an hour to midtown Manhattan and 1,5 hours to Newark airport but it was not a problem for us. Also there are a lot of supermarkets next to it (the nearest is just 50 m away!).
In total we enjoyed our trip to New York also of staying here.
