The apartement is pretty close to a subway station (5 min to 36 avenue). It’s three stops from Manhattan, Upper East Side, maybe around 20 min. We didn’t talk a lot but they seemed really nice, and provided a lot of tips for restaurant in the neighborhood etc. Check in was really easy. We were never disturbed by any noise or anything. The bathroom and kitchen were fine, the room pretty big. It gets really hot but you have your own AC so it’s fine. The bed is a couch so it’s not the most comfortable but that was expected and totally fine. Especially considering the prize we would recommend.
