Our hosts was very sweet and understanding. Unfortunately we had to move after 5 days (booked 9) due to sickness because of some hefty mold in the bathroom. Luckily this problem should have been taken care of more or less on the same day we departed. Hopefully not a problem anymore. The neighbourhood was diverse and approximately 20-30min away from downtown Manhattan. Subway very close.
The cleaning in the apartment when we arrived and in the days we were there couldh be somewhat better. For instance the tea towels and washcloth in the kitchen was the same all along.
