This is a typical New York apartment, in an oldish building, at the 3rd floor with no elevator.
Devon has been a great and welcoming host, and communication has been very easy.
The apartment was below our expectations (I live in the area and I have booked other apartments nearby for friends or family visiting before).
The entrance of the building is a bit sketchy, especially late in the night -a narrow glass door in-between two store facades with posters stuck on it. The old staircase does not give a nice feeling either. On the other hand, the apartment is very nicely decorated. However, it has a subtle but non-pleasant smell, and we felt a bit like we entered in one's private place, a bit dirty and with things in the fridge and in the closets. Being a great host, I am sure Devon will take care of these things for the next stays.
