Pros:
-Excellent location; great restaurants, good shopping and easy access to L1 station
-Next to subway station; main L1 line, made travel within the city very convenient
-The owners provided great advice on local restaurants to visit; we went to a few and loved them

Cons:
-We were without a stove for the whole week due to a city regulation; we were not advised of this when we booked
-We were without cable for the whole week: the owner was very responsive to our texts but never did come to fix this
-The place is VERY small; as expected when visiting NYC howerver there were some doors that can not open fully; very hard to live with a suitcase
-Very old; the place definitely needs some renovations; especially the bathroom
-Very “lived in”, half bottles of milk, perfume, etc around the house. The owner came by and left their mail on the counter during our visit
- VERY loud; there are a few night clubs around the area that play very loud music all hours of the night; do not recommend bringing children here
- very hot and stuffy; there was no regulation for temperature and it was very hot there the whole week making it difficult to sleep (combined with the loud music)
- had to pick up keys at a location that is not close to the apartment. this was very difficult while travelling with three suitcases. Also the pick up location was not fully aware that I was there to pick up the keys so this took some time to sort out
