Look, the pictures were accurate, but the area was super sketchy. Its East Harlem, not Manhattan. They advertised street parking, but I definitely would not leave my car out at night. We had to pay $40 a day for a garage, which sucked. Would not walk around the area after sunset, either.
Minor issues include: apartment was on the sixth floor, no elevator; the AC shut off automatically all the time, so we always woke up sweaty and gross; the blinds sucked, so the room was really bright at night; and there were a lot of intense rules about keeping the place spotless with the threat of a $500 fine. If you are messy, prone to accidents or are traveling with children—this is not the place for you.
For the price, we would have been better off at a hotel. This was “not the place to be” in my humble opinion.
