pictures are accurate, but kitchen is a bit smaller than expected so don't expect to cook everyday. couch is really comfortable, and it reclines! perfect for watching cable provided. Sara is an amazing host providing snacks, soap and even a Britta filter! Wifi works really well for working at home. This is a true NYC apartment: tight staircase, wooden floor boards, toilet separate from shower, steam heaters. Note that this unit faces a main street and you can hear everything which is fine if you wake up and sleep the same time as rush hour. A fairly safe neighborhood, about 10 min walk to subway or bus is infront of the apartment.
