This was a great find for my last night in Manhattan. I requested a late, last-minute reservation. Peter was very flexible, accommodating, and responsive. I felt like I was at home and got a true NYC, old-school, 5th floor walk-up experience. I adored the quaint apartment and will consider it next time I’m in Manhattan as opposed to a hotel. I was alone, very far from home, and still felt safe. The listing is accurately written. Yes, the keys can be a bit of a challenge but I followed the directions, was persistent and I got the “trick”. Then it was routine to get in. (Honestly I made it worse the first time bc I was worried from a review I read. It isn’t that bad, just a quirky lock. I figured out I was using the apartment key to try to get into the building’s door)
