The apartment is a really gem, it's gorgeous, spacious, simply nice. Definetely much better than an hotel room, even of a luxury hotel.
It's placed on a side street, just far from the crowded Malcom X Blvd, so the place is really quite, and still you can be where people is in 5 min.
The apartment is well furnished, and with everything you may need for the stay. Simon is a really precise host, he has left several notes to explain the rules of the house and how everything works for the easiest experience, he has also several suggestions for place to eat, and to visit.
If I'll return to New York, this is for sure a place to stay.
