Janelle's place was a little off the beaten path. While close to the Q line subway, be prepared for a 20 -40 minute subway commute to the "tourist" attractions in the city. Times Square was 20 minutes, while the financial district, china town, Battery Park was closer to 40 minutes.
The apartment is advertised as "clean", but a lot of attention to detail was missed. Dirt and grime all along the base boards and the toe kick in the kitchen. The front of the dishwasher was really dirty. We ended up having to sweep and wipe down vertical surfaces. There was mold in the shower/tub and the shower caddie was rusty and gross. We were given one roll of toilet paper for our 3 night stay for the 4 of us. When I emailed Janelle, she asked me to contact the housekeeper to request more.
If you want access to local TV, you have to sign up for a free trial of Swing TV. Luckily, a prior guest has logged into their Netflix account, so we had access to Netflix. Additionally, batteries in the remote control were dead on first night, so Janelle replaced the next day.
Please note that the apartment is on the second floor and you hear a lot of street noise. I think that is to be expected in NYC, though.
