Wow - this apartment is AWESOME! I think Julien very much understated the apartment in his review (in a typically European way!). Given the good location and the low price in comparison to others in the immediate area, I was expecting something pretty basic - but this apartment had it all.

The apartment was super clean and well-decorated throughout - it's a true one bedroom (not a studio), that whilst not HUGE, is definitely spacious enough for a couple. The bed was super comfy and the living area, bathroom, kitchen and dining area were more than enough to satisfy myself and my partner's needs.

In addition to the price we paid for this central a location (the lively neighborhood Julien described is awesome!), the other winning feature was the private backyard. We had a BBQ out back one evening which was an amazing addition to our stay.

The subway to Downtown Manhattan took us about 20 minutes door-to-door from the apartment, which is actually much shorter than it took us to get from Midtown Manhattan to Downtown Manhattan during our previous stay. Julien was really helpful throughout and we absolutely loved this apartment. For this price and location, we will definitely be using this as our New York crash pad from now on. What a great find - bravo!
