The apartment is conveniently located near the Q and 6 train and is in a decently nice neighborhood on the edge of the Upper East Side, just south of East Harlem. We were able to check in ourselves and the process was totally smooth. The apartment is up one flight of stairs, which was not a problem for us, but worth knowing. Everything was as expected, with the only minor downside being the lack of any natural light in the living room area, which made it not a very pleasant place to hang out - especially given the price point we were paying.
