We really enjoyed our stay at Michal's apartment. She and her husband and family live in the apartment downstairs so they were readily available to give us the keys and help us out when we had questions. But we also felt completely private. And it was very quiet. I didn't hear them downstairs, nor the neighbors or neighborhood. I had been worried with the subway trains right across the street, but we didn't hear them at all.

When we checked in, they greeted us, and gave us all the needed information about their place--plus more. The apartment is well-stocked not only with kitchen and bath items, but also kids toys, books, travel info, subway maps, and other local information. The Nespresso machine was really a treat. We didn't use them, but the kitchen seems very well stocked with lots of dishes and pots, utensils, etc.
The place was very clean...well worth the extra Fee paid for the cleaning service.
The only somewhat complaint/comment we had was that the apartment is air conditioned by a window A/C unit in the living room, and one in the main bedroom. It took most of the first day to cool things down, even with the ceiling fans running as well. The 2nd bedroom only has a fan--they brought in another fan, and it helped by the end of the 1st day. I would suggest turning it all on at least a 1/2 day before occupancy on these hot summer days.
Another note, that I don't think was listed on the listing is that it is the 2nd floor of their 2-family house; there are quite a few narrow stairs to get up. I have some difficulty with stairs. We made it work, but that should be noted, in case it's a problem for someone.

The apartment has an off-street parking space out front. This was excellent as we parked our car for the day, as we went around town via subway, but could come and go as we needed to, without the usual worry about finding (or safety of) parking in NY. The subway train station is right across the street, so the location was super convenient.

We would definitely recommend this Airbnb, and would return again if we come back to NY!
