Samir's apartment is incredibly spacious for New York City, and in one of the best locations you could ask for with easy access to restaurants, bars, grocery stores, pharmacy, parks, and public transportation. We stayed here for 3 weeks, and it was a great spot from which we could explore the city. Samir was also very responsive and check-in was really simple, which is not always the case in NYC. The description also mentions street noise, but we didn't hear any of that in the apartment, which made sleeping that much easier.
We did have a few issues though. The bed is soft, which at first was great, but after a little while made our backs ache. There also wasn't much room to hang up our clothes, which is ok once again for a short stay, but for a longer stay made things more inconvenient. There were also some cleaning issues, some of which we resolved ourselves, and others which Samir helped us with, but would have loved to have not been an issue to begin with.
All in all, Samir's place is a great spot from which to explore NYC without having to compromise on space.
