The apartment is excellent! Transportation is good, regular bus service every 10 mins or so to Subway stations or you could take a stroll weather permitting. Once on the Subway, you could be in all areas of Manhattan pretty quickly. Area is safe and relatively quiet for New York City. There were 3 large supermarkets all within walking distance and you could get practically anything you need.
The apartment is well stocked and well furnished for a comfortable stay. We stayed approximately 3 weeks and the 3 bedrooms and the larger space was helpful for the family.
Natasha was excellent as host and very approachable and contactable even though she was also traveling with her family during this time.
All in a wonderful experience in the apartment and will certainly stay here again if available!
